western ringtail possum
The western ringtail possum or Ngwayir is a possum found in Western Australia, regarded as a subspecies (''Pseudocheirus peregrinus occidentalis'') of common ringtail possum, or as a separate species.
==Description==
The western ringtail has a head and body length of 320–400 mm, a tail length of 300–400 mm, and a weight of 820-1100 g (1300 g〔). It has dark grey brown fur with light patches behind the ears and creamy white, sometimes greyish, underparts. It differs from the common ringtail possum by lacking any rufous colouration. It has a long prehensile tail with a distinctive white tip.
The original description of the western population was as a separate species, ''Pseudocheirus occidentalis'',〔Thomas, O (1888). Catalogue of the Marsupialia and Monotremata in the collection of the British Museum (Natural History). London: Trustees of British Museum (Nat. History).〕 though later authors classified it as a subspecies of ''Pseudocheirus peregrinus''. Due to contradictory research, a recommendation to reinstate the species status—though a widely held view—has not been published.
