Possumias Ofossumias
The Possumias Ofossumias is a genetically redesigned possum. It predominantly inhabits the planet of Almus which is situated twenty light years away from Earth. The Possumias Ofossumias is a hybrid with flying squirrel and carnivorous rat. Almus is generally very moderate in climate. The temperature never is too hot or cold and stays about the same temperature yearly. The Possumias Ofossumias is about the same size as the average possum, but with a longer tail and the extra skin under the front legs same as the flying squirrel as well as more defined canine teeth and claws. These adaptations allow this news species of possum to live in this different environment. The extra skin under the front legs allows it to glide with ease from tree to tree to avoid its ultimate nemesis: the carnivorous nocturnal wolf. The claws allow it to easily climb trees, defend itself and capture prey. Its tail lets it remain balanced as it spends most of its time up high in the trees which reach astonishing heights such as two hundred feet tall. To survive, the Possumias Ofossumias has developed an almost dominant carnivorous diet. Its canine teeth allow it to rip flesh from bone and its claws allow it to capture prey. It preys principally on birds that nest in the trees and squirrels.

Tooth and Claw
The Possumias Ofossumias has more canine sensabilities. It's teeth and claws have been adapted from the lion and have been genetically changed to fit the possum. The claws are retractable and the teeth jut out of the mouth. This appearance usually succeeds in scaring off other animals that might want to fight the possum for it's prey.

Ears
The Possumias Ofossumias has specially developed hearing. Its hearing a little better than a housecat's and it can hear incredibly high and low frequencies. They are also quite large and act as a cooling system for it. They also recieve moisture from the air and help sustain the possum in times of lack of rain.
