Sulawesi Bear Cuscus

Also known as Sulawesi Bear Phalanger, Bear Cuscus

Sulawesi bear cuscus move deliberately through the high rainforest canopy, anchoring themselves with a long, muscular prehensile tail while stripping mature leaves from treetops. Active during the day, these primitive marsupials often travel in monogamous pairs, resting motionless for long hours to digest their low-energy foliage diet. Widespread deforestation and illegal hunting present severe pressures across their native Indonesian island strongholds.
