Researchers Find A Tiny Baby Animal And Realize There's More

The researchers working for the Australian Wildlife Conservancy were recently able to come across something rather amazing. They were inspecting some animal nest boxes in the North Head Sanctuary with the hope of finding something inside them. Inside one of these boxes, they discovered a tiny creature that was smaller than a pinky finger. The researchers were taken by surprise since the animal only weighed 7 grams.

The Australian Wildlife Conservancy aims at improving the ecosystem of Australia by restoring native mammal species to this particular area. The eastern pygmy possums are nocturnal creatures that barely come out during the daytime. They are very small in size and are quite a rare sight. When the cold season arrives, the researchers are able to hold the sleepy creatures during routine checks.
