What is it about?
The consumption of plant sap or resins, termed gummivory, is well known among smaller arboreal primates such as marmosets, lemurs, and lorises, and has been documented in four species of wrist-winged glider and Leadbeater’s possum in Australia. This paper details the first reported observations of gum consumption by the Common Ringtail Possum Pseudocheirus peregrinus.
