    Today I caught a glimpse of a marsupial I didn’t see on my last visit. A jet black possum is very striking.

    First visit to Wellington Zoo in a couple of months, and so I have finally added marsupial number three to my total.

    3) Parma Wallaby Notamacropus parma


    I was surprised to see it actually, because the undergrowth in the walk-through area is so thick that I haven't seen a wallaby in there for a couple of years, and I think they only have one left anyway!

    I am officially averaging less than one marsupial per zoo now. Out of three zoos visited, I have only seen two species of marsupial, as neither Buttonwood or Stone keep any marsupial species.

    Was this species where the possums are normally kept near the meerkat exhibit and the sun bear exhibit?

    Those exhibits have been bulldozed to make way for the new café area and cotton-top tamarin enclosure. It was in the South American trail: Short-eared Brushtail Possum Enclosure - ZooChat It seems like it was only a temporary exhibit as the possum wasn't on-display during my most recent visit in August.
