structural adaptations
Because possums are nocturnal, they have quite large eyes with well-developed night vision. Possums have an opposable first toe on each hind foot which assists in climbing. possums have semi-prehensile tails. Possums cannot actually hang by their tails, but the tail is useful for helping them balance, curling around thin branches
physiological adaptations
they have fur to keep themselves warm along with staying in the hollowed out parts of a tree
behavioural adaptations
they live in hollow parts of trees so they don't become easy prey for predators. they are nocturnal which means that they feed at night.
the possum is in fact territorial and would make noises such as hissing and screeching and would even fight.
