The honey possum is a tiny marsupial with almost no teeth that lives solely on the nectar and pollen of banksia blossoms. In addition to this extraordinary diet, honey possums have the smallest newborn young, yet the longest sperm, of any mammal. This book explores what is known about this unusual and endearing animal, as well as the birds and plants that share its world.
