I, The Mountain Pygmy Possum

I, the mountain pygmy possum,
have been curled up under the snow.
Three meters down I made my nest
for seven months, you know.
It's getting hotter, which is hard,
running over all that rock.
I eat moths, seeds and berries,
as many as I can stock.
There are 2000 of us left,
we are very endangered.
We were thought to be extinct,
but were rediscovered by a ranger.
Can you maybe help us out?
Just little things like planting trees.
Especially mountain plum vine
My favourite, sure to please!
It's easier now that it is spring,
Running around under the banksia blossom.
I get to play with my friends,
a free life for Pygmy Possum
