Striped Possum
The striped possum, resembling a black-and-white squirrel, lives in Australia and Paupa New Guinea.
It has a prehensile tail, and one of its fingers is much longer than the other. It hunts for its food using percussive foraging- like the Aye-aye. It feeds on beetles and caterpillars from bark. This leads to the inference that the Striped Possum is literally the mammalian woodpecker.
