Clarissa Human, Praying Possum (ANIMALS 2024)

A sweltering summer with minimal rain left the bushland and woodlands of Perth and its suburbs dry and desolate. As the rains began the bush came to life with wildlife making the best of it. Curious campsite Possums are often seen scavenging on the periphery of the campsites we frequent, however, this little Brushtailed Possum had no fear and I got the opportunity to capture it up close without interfering with its nightly foraging.
