The
cuscus is a marsupial found in Australia, Tasmania, the Solomon
Islands, Moluccas, and Celebes. It ranges from about 6 to 26
inches long.
Their tails are 17 to 24 inches long. Another word

They are arboreal animals. This means that they are
adapted for living or
moving around in trees. Phalangers eat fruit, leaves, nectar,
insects, and
sometimes small birds. |
Cuscuses
have dense, woolly fur and long tails. They live in hollow trees
and carry their young in their pouches. |
