#290 Leadbeater's Possum
Also called the Fairy Possum!
Their biggest threats are logging, fires, and cats. While related to gliders, they don't have that ability.

Yes that's its name! Extinct since the early 1900's. I only saw 4 pictures of them, pinned to boards. The colour may have been brighter but I have no idea at all.
