The massive fire that raged in Australia destroyed the majority of the trees and fauna. The dwelling quarters of small pygmy possums, in particular, were completely destroyed. And there was no way to know if this species would ever be resurrected.
However, wildlife specialists were able to locate the little possum for the first time following the fire. Because of its small size, they were unable to see it. But, thankfully, it was in good health and appeared to be on the mend. Other little possums were discovered after that.
In general, the pygmy possum species is endangered. The small creature is now in the reserve park with its peers. And every attempt is being made to keep her secure and protected.
Their ammunition stockpile is currently at an all-time low. Experts believe they will survive such a drastic decline and will soon produce fresh little offspring.
