Sulawesi bear cuscus

The Sulawesi bear cuscus, also called the Sulawesi bear phalanger, Ailurops ursinus, is an arboreal marsupial in the family Phalangeridae that is endemic to Sulawesi and nearby islands in Indonesia. It lives in tropical moist lowland forest at elevations up to 600 m, is diurnal and folivorous, and is often found in pairs. It can feed on the young leaves of up to 31 plant species, but feeding takes only about 5 percent of its day against about 63 percent spent resting. The species is threatened by hunting, collection for the pet trade and deforestation, and it has no legal protection in Indonesia since the 2018 revision of the protected species list, nor a CITES listing, even though it is commonly traded in Sulawesi and abroad.
