Could this be a Ring-tail possum tail?

Hi JGIACON, It is from a brush tailed possum. The local ring-tailed possums have white ends to their tails and short fur. Sorry CNM is not letting me confirm it for you atm.

Thanks Don. The bare skin on the underside made me think of Ringtail. Re-looking at it, the Ringtail has a more pointy tail, I think. John
