Common Spotted Cuscus - Spilocuscus maculatus <br />
What I think I have here is a Phalanger Cuscus. Exactly which kind, I am not sure. This one comes from madang province in Papua New Guinea. I live in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. She eats many different kinds of leaves, peanuts, bananas, bread fruit leaves, rubber tree leaves. It also eats the blossoms from a banana tree. One of the unique features about them is that they have two opposable fingers on their front hands. Common spotted cuscus,Spilocuscus maculatus Click/tap to enlarge
