FfFfFfFF 58,108 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The brushtail possum was found lying on the side of the road and is believed to be around five months old. It may have fallen off its mother’s back before it was found by a member of the public and taken to a local veterinary clinic for care. Despite being a bit nervous, Pikachu was checked over by vets and then placed with a wildlife carer. Veterinarian Dr Stephen Reinisch told IFLScience that Pikachu is merely a nickname as giving her a proper name might make her carer too attached. The golden colour occurs due to a mutation which causes a low level of the pigment melanin which gives them their normal colour. This bright coloration makes Pikachu particularly susceptible to predators. Possums are nocturnal, so being bright yellow makes her an easy target for creatures like owls and as they are so rare and although their bright colour makes them look special to us, it puts them at risk in the wild. Luckily for this baby brushtail she’s gone to carers to be raised and then will end up in a wildlife sanctuary so she can live a long happy life.
