Continuing with my Rainforest Animals series.
Named for its thick, dark, and bear like fur, the Sulawesi bear cuscus isn’t a true bear, but is actually an arboreal marsupial. Like other marsupials, the female Sulawesi bear cuscus gives birth to relatively underdeveloped offspring and carries the infant in a pouch on her belly until it is approximately eight months old and sufficiently developed for survival.
Like most other marsupials, the Sulawesi Bear Cuscus is a herbivore, eating only vegetation. Most of its diet is made up of leaves, but it will also each buds, flowers, and unripe fruit.
They live in the undisturbed forests of Indonesia, predominantly on the island of Sulawesi. Due to loss of habitat, they are becoming more isolated from each other and sadly they are considered vulnerable on the endangered list.

I never heard of this animal before. Looks like a real cutie!
Yes and he is sort of like a kangaroo, as far as the babies are concerned, being in the marsupial family.
And that’s something else I hadn’t known – that marsupials live outside of Australia!
We both learned with this one. Good deal.
that is a great picture for caption Thursday.
thanks for the info! i love the picture!
I will eventually participate in caption Thursday when I find more hours.
i would love to see the pictures you share! I bet you and ghost could have a great caption picture duel!
That is a great idea. Another thing added to my to do list.
i think it would be amazing, personally!!!
Their facial expressions inspire me to draw some cartoons.(lol)
You should do that, they are fascinating.
Thanks for introducing another wonderful animal. I hear about her for the first time.
You are welcome. Thank you for your continued support.
Thank you, too. You have supported me since my beginning.
We will keep going, hoping for the best.
I totally agree with you. Hope dies last. 😊
There are so many amazing animals over the world, it’s a pity we are destroying their habitat! Thank you for sharing this interesting information!
I was trying to pick a few of the most interesting in the rainforest but so far they are all so cool!
