Pouch of the Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possum contains two teats. One young is produced at a time. Most births occur in August-November, and young are seen riding on their mothers’ backs in October-April.

Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possums are nocturnal and emerge from their nests just after dark and may not return until dawn is breaking. During the night, they most commonly forage at heights of 11-20 m and make glider-like long leaps of 2-3 m between trees. They are strictly arboreal and are found higher in the canopy than sympatric folivorous ring-tailed possums of similar mass such as the Green and the Herbert River ring-tailed possums. During the day, Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possums use tree hollows and do not construct nests.

The Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possum is more gregarious than most other pseudocheirids; groups of 2-3 individuals are often seen feeding together and sharing a tree hollow nest. Groups of up to eight individuals have been observed. These groups probably consist of an adult male and female and subadults or young-atfoot (that have left the pouch but are not yet weaned). Home ranges of 0-15-1-7 ha are aligned with forest edge. Mean density of the Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possum is 1-9 ind/ha, with a maximum of 4-8 ind/ha. Adults are not known to vocalize to any extent, although juveniles produce a high-pitched hissing squeak when separated from their mothers. Both sexes have a strong musky odor and drag their cloaca along branches, which suggests olfaction is important in communication. Predators of the Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possum include amethystine pythons (

Classified as Near Threatened on The IUCN Red List. The Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possum occurs in rainforests of northern Queensland in two distinct localities: one population occurs above 450 m in elevation between Ingham and Cairns, and the other, a smaller population, above 1100 m on the Mount Carbine Tableland, west of Mossman. Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possums are very vulnerable to habitat fragmentation because they do not come to the ground to transfer between patches of habitat. One study found that a population declined by more than 99% in forest fragments and secondary regrowth after clearing. The relative inability of Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possums to use corridors means they require large areas of intact primary rainforest and corridors of primary rainforest of at least 200 m in width. They exhibit a suite of traits that makes them particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation, including beingstrictly arboreal, feeding almost entirely on the leaves of primary forest trees, and requiring a hollow tree-cavity for daytime denning. Although the area of rainforest available to the Lemuroid Ring-tailed Possum has declined as a result of clearing and fragmentation,its total population is thought to be stable.
