Possum Tracking Project

Wildcare Inc NT is in the process of completing a 3yr Survival Study of Released Rehabilitated Northen Brushtail possums. We radio collared 44 possums and tracked them for as long as possible some of them up to 18 months. This was done with the assistance of Parks & Wildlife NT and their scientists.

The results have been quite good overall but are yet to be finalised. We also microchipped the possums but did not found any uncollared possums at the study site which is in a remote rural area.
