I think those are Opossums no possums, because the ears and the nose is shorter, They look too cute. possum live here in the states and Opossum live where you are, but , I could be wrong, possum may be where you are too.
I have always wondered about that spelling…having lived in the States and now is Oz, I get SO mixed up. Thank you for your input; I must look into it as my photos are of possums/Opussums here in Australia. Robyn :)

I also found a possum the looks just like these it’s called the common bush tailed possum. I never realized there were different types as well.
Hi again Patricia :) There are quite a few. My other woodburning or pyrography of a mother possum and her baby, are the brush-tail possums that live in our trees (large ears). I thought these were the ring-tail possums (small ears). Well we learn something everyday :) Robyn
