The prompt made me think of one of our native Australian carnivorous marsupials, the Wambenger or Brush Tailed Phascogale. These small endangered mammals (habitat destruction, cats, foxes) are arboreal and we've recently been seeing them on the camera trap footage that comes up on the Western Shield Camera trap project that I'm a moderator for. So I had one of the images up from there as a sort of a reference. Because these animals move very quickly, the image has no detail and is quite blurred so I took some liberties with mine.

Yay I've caught up!
