This is a really lovely and unusual image of the beautiful spotted cuscus. Cuscus is the common name generally given to the species within four genera of Australasian possum.
All species of cuscus are sleepy creatures by day, but become more active at night, which is their chief feeding time, the comparatively large size of their eyes being in accordance with nocturnal habits. These animals appear to be nowhere common, and in most parts of their habitat are very rare. In addition to leaves and fruit, they will catch and eat birds and other small animals. They frequent only forests containing large trees and pass from the boughs of one tree to another after the manner of squirrels, sometimes swinging themselves by the tail in order to reach a branch which would otherwise be inaccessible.
