Description
Trichosurus caninus Ogilby 1835
Trichosurus caninus Ogilby 1835, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1835: 191.
Type Locality: Australia, New South Wales, Hunter River.
Vernacular Names: Short-eared Possum.
Synonyms: Trichosurus nigrans Le Souef 1916.
Distribution: Australia: C Queensland (near Gladstone) south to C New South Wales, and possibly to the Victorian border (Lindenmayer et al., 2002).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Common.
Discussion: What were previously thought to be populations of this species in Victoria have been shown to be a separate species, T. cunninghami (Lindemayer et al., 2002). The species and T. cunninghami are together sometimes known as Bobuck; Lindemayer et al. (2002) suggested new vernacular names to distinguish them.
