Vogelkop Ringtail Possum (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Vogelkop Ringtail Possum (Pseudochirulus schlegeli) is a species of marsupial in the Pseudocheiridae family. It is endemic to the Vogelkop Peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia. It is threatened by habitat loss.It was once commonly believed that marsupials were a primitive forerunner of modern placental mammals, but fossil evidence, first presented by researcher M.J. Spechtt in 1982, conflicts with this assumption] Instead, both main branches of the mammal tree appear to have evolved concurrently toward the end of the Mesozoic era.
