Eastern common cuscus

The eastern common cuscus, Phalanger intercastellanus, is a marsupial in the family Phalangeridae found in eastern Papua New Guinea. Until recently it was considered the same species as the southern common cuscus, Phalanger mimicus, and before that it was also lumped with the northern common cuscus, Phalanger orientalis. Humans have carried it beyond its native range: it was introduced into the Aru Islands and parts of northern Australia. It is a member of Phalanger, the cuscus genus, and the article on the species gives no figures for its size, diet, habitat or conservation status.
