Australia's Feathertail Glider (Acrobates pygmaeus) is the world's smallest gliding mammal – about the size of a small mouse and weighing in at 12 grams.
Rare footage, shot in the wild, shows how these minuscule marsupials protect their nest hollows by closing off the entrance with sprigs of gum leaves, hauled into place with their prehensile tails. Our tiny hero's home survives an assault by a Goanna – a fearsome monitor lizard – looking for a bite-sized meal.
Shot near Batemans Bay, NSW, on Australia's south-east coast.
