This is the only Sulawesi dwarf cuscus I saw on my Indonesia trip. The lighting wasn’t great but I got a variety of shots just before I had to get back in a vehicle and head for the airport for my journey home. A nice end to the trip. These guys are arboreal marsupials and are a fairly rare species, seldomly photographed. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/2.8 at 1/400th of a second.
Thanks Sue. This is probably the rarest mammal I’ve ever photographed. I know because when I google it, most of the images that get returned are from me.
Okay, sometimes my eyes just slide over words and I have to go back and really look because my brain puts on the breaks. I “read” the title of this photo as: Sushi Dwarf Circus and wondered where on earth you were NOW! lol

Great shot, Sean!

Oh those eyes! Are they really turquoise?
They are. Really cool looking little marsupial.

Brakes, not breaks. Thanks autocorrect.
Still on the lookout for the rare “Sushi Dwarf Circus.” One of these days.
Omg, so cute, can’t believe Shardae didn’t comment on this guy!! Love it!
