Each spring, Mountain Pygmy-possums wake up from hibernation, hungry for nutritious Bogong Moths to eat. Bogong Moths usually fly to the possums’ mountain home in the billions, but this hasn’t happened in the past three years, which now means there often isn’t enough food for these tiny possums to raise their babies. In 2020, we need your help to know if the moths are coming and learn more so we can help them in the future. It's simple - if you see a Bogong Moth, take a photo and upload it to Zoos Victoria's Moth Tracker webpage at the link below. https://www.zoo.org.au/possums/?fbclid=IwAR1rht-8kYAsX3jZZNmFPSXtnUOSBfhbpjtsmvHeBGMsLELpGVWKtWIvLqY
