"Briggs, Mike and Peggy: Wild Life. Parragon editorial, Spain. ISBN 1-40545-244-7"
How about
"Mike and Peggy Briggs, The Encyclopedia of World Wildlife, Paragon, 2004, ISBN 1405436794."? Mr Stephen 21:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Smell of the striped possum
[edit]According to Wildlife Explorer, the striped possum has a strong odor that is sweet, musty and repugnant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.60.236.0 (talk) 16:47, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
Comparison with the aye-aye
[edit]I suggest finding a better source for the comparison with the aye-aye and its specialized finger. All fingers on the aye-aye are elongated, although the third finger is specialized in shape and function. However, in both striped possums and the aye-aye, the fourth finger is the longest. (This is true of all lemurs, also.) There are many academic sources which state this incorrectly, repeating myth without citations or citing other sources that state this incorrectly. I believe the book Primate Anatomy by Ankel-Simons (ISBN: 978-0-12-372576-9) and a few other sources provide more reliable information on this. – Maky « talk » 21:14, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
