Random Facts
-When the cuscus was first discovered it was believed that they were a kind of primate. Later people found out that they were actually marsupials and closely related to possums.

-The cuscus lives an arboreal lifestyle (i.e. spends most of its time in trees). Instead of sleeping in the hollows of trees like other possums, the cuscus sleeps between branches and uses surrounding palm fronds and leaves to hide itself.
