I photoed this golden possum in the wild in Tasmania in 2017. She has a normal, dark-colored joey on her back.pic.twitter.com/UxqrYXCUAe
A rare Golden Possum found in Australia has been named "Pikachu", after the famous Pokémon character. The golden yellow appearance is a result of a genetic mutation. The mutation affects the possum's melanin production (photo: Boronia Veterinary Clinic And Animal Hospital)pic.twitter.com/jaCN0XDkA5
