Restricted to the Atherton Tablelands, the Coppery Brushtail Possum (Trichosurus johnstonii) is one of several species nocturnal possums that together inhabit the same montane rainforests in far north Queensland. Although all are folivorous and feed on a wide variety of trees, these sympatric species are able to co-exist without direct competition by partitioning their diets; each has its own specific combination of food plants. Queensland, Australia.
