Phalangeridae
see also: Etymology of Phalangeridae
They are generally arboricolous animals Marsupiaux, even if they can, like Opossum with tail in plumeau, to seek their food on the ground. If the tail is prehensile, their characteristic is to have the eyes brought back on the face of the head, and not on the sides.
In this family, one finds in particular the phalangers, the possums and the couscous.
