Possums - Volume-6 in the Faunacap Series on The Capture Handling and Restraint of Animals
The Possum program is filmed and written by wildlife professionals with the aim to provide information to personnel who specialize in working with primarily brushtailed possums either in a captive or research environment.
It's packed with information on best practice methods used in the capture, handling and restraint of these marsupials.
Descriptions are provided for various types of traps that are often used when collecting research data. Equipment such as sheffield traps are discussed and trap placement, and set-up information describes what to look for during the placement of the trap. Safe and successful trap use requires knowledge and experience.
Other chapters cover safe handling techniques and equipment, morphological measurements and weighing methods,
This program is essential reference material for anybody involved in the capture and keeping of Ringtailed or Brushtailed possums, and makes an ideal training resource for zoo staff, wildlife professionals and volunteers.
This program would be a valuable addition to any libraries in tertiary education facilities that teach animal handling training zoo-keepers or veterinary staff.
This program comes with a comprehensive manual in PDF format.
