Blue-eyed spotted cuscus

The blue-eyed spotted cuscus, also called the Biak spotted cuscus, Spilocuscus wilsoni, is a critically endangered marsupial in the family Phalangeridae. It is endemic to a small island group in Cenderawasih Bay, on Biak and Supiori, and lives in the treetops of tropical rainforest. It has a pale marbled coat of brown, grey and white with a creamy underbelly and distinct blue-green eyes not seen in any other Spilocuscus, and females are larger than males. It was recognised as a species in 2004 by Kristofer Helgen and Timothy Flannery and named for Don E. Wilson. Habitat loss, hunting and the exotic pet trade threaten it, and the IUCN deemed it critically endangered in 2015.
