A student from Bunbury Regional College found this possum that had met with an unfortunate end to its life. The student recently participated in a possum school incursion with GeoCatch project officer Nicole Lincoln and wanted to help with continuing possum education for others. The student arranged with GeoCatch to deliver the possum to professional taxidermist Mark Doulton from Natures Expression for mounting and preservation.![]()

Mark commented that the possum was in remarkable condition, making it an ideal candidate for preservation. “I had to replace a small area of fur on her back that had come away. Other than that, she was in great condition,” said Mark.![]()

The possum will now become part of GeoCatch’s education programs at local schools and throughout the community. “Our furry friend has a bright future in helping educate students and the community on the importance of the critically endangered western ringtail possum” said Nicole Lincoln from GeoCatch. ![]()
