The facilities behind me were set up specifically for the mountain pepine possums. They're an alpine species so they need temperatures that drop down to about two degrees in the winter and we need to be able to keep it fairly cool in summer because up on Mount Bull and Mount Hoffman and Cosioska as well it doesn't get to really hot temperatures. Now, Australia is only hibernating marsupials so we're simulating the conditions inside these rooms so that they can harden in winter. Today we took up to about a little claw week old leaders of mountain pepine possums, took them up to the hospital, up to the AWHC and essentially they're first bed check. So we got the beds to have a look at their teeth and their eyes, their ears, they all had a microchip inserted into them so that we can identify them in future because they all look very much of the same. And we also took a little hair sample so that we can send that off for genetic analysis. Unfortunately, there's been a lot of change happening to their natural habitats so we've got ski villages up sort of where the possums used to live. We've put roads through the Boulder fields where these little guys actually like to live in feed so it has caused fragmentation, change and damage to the natural structure of vegetation up there. Climate change is potentially also a big issue for these fellas. They do need good snow cover in winter in order to hibernate properly. If the climate is changing and we're having warmer winters and we're not getting the wood snow cover, the mountain pepine possums won't hibernate so well which means that they may be waking up, arousing during a period where they would normally be hibernating and every time they wake up from hibernation they do lose body weight. So there's generally not a lot of food around in winter and so hibernation isn't a way that they can skip through that period where there's not so many resources. The mountain pepine possums rely on a huge migration of bogom moths that make their way up to the yellow pine areas every spring with snow melts. One of the simplest things you can do if you're staying up on the mountain during that period is to make sure that at night time you turn all moths off. You don't leave any unnecessary lights going because that will actually attract the moths away from the boulder fields. If you want the moths to actually do the normal migration which is add onto the boulder fields and down into the rocks which is where the pivine possums live then they can have their normal food source.
