Lemuroid Ringtail Possum Back From The Dead
Recently, the Australian lemuroid ringtail possum (Hemibelideus lemuroides) was thought to be the first species to be declared extinct due to climate change. Last month scientists stated that a population has been identified and the possum was never thought to be extinct. But, the lemuroid ringtail possum is very much at risk and has suffered a severe decline in population. They have an inability to tolerate high temperatures and, as such, have a very limited range.
