Best Answer

The cuscus is a small marsupial, similar in appearance to a possum, which lives in the rainforests of northern Australia and some islands of the Pacific. Its main predators are snakes (carpet pythons) and larger Birds of Prey. They are at some risk from quolls and other dasyurids (carnivorous marsupials). Their populations also suffer because of habitat destruction caused by people.
