I’ve posted a few shots of this guy before, sometimes referred to as the Sulawesi dwarf cuscus and sometimes the small Sulawesi cuscus. The point is, it’s small, it’s a cuscus and it’s from Sulawesi. This photo shows the opposable claws — the three on the left that oppose the two on the right and enable the cuscus a firm grip while climbing trees. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/50th of a second

You have seen and photographed many a cool creature.
No doubt Rick. Of course, the more I see, the more I want to see more. I know you know the feeling.
wow!
Too cute!!!!
Excellent, love those eyeballs!
Calling Shardae! Those beautiful eyes are calling you for mascara (even if it doesn’t have lashes) and those nails need manicuring!
Oh my goodness, what a creature to behold. She will be fabulous in no time!
I have never seen a Cuscus before, but I am glad I saw one today….very beautiful photo.
Thanks Grace. I got lucky with this one. My final morning in Indonesia, just before I had to leave and head back to the airport.
Looks like he’s motioning you to not take his photo! 🙂
Ha. Could be. He was moving around in that tree pretty fast.
He made me smile.
Mr. Cuscus.
