cuscus

Cuscus (Ailurops ursinus) is known as one of the two endemic species lived in Sulawesi. It is classify as marsupialia.

So what do we got here is that in our Djuwita school, just about two or three days ago, there's what we assumed as cuscus. It's really hard to believe that it's even here in Batam, since it is supposed to be in Sulawesi which is far far away from here.

About 5 'o clock the students went home, then us (lamers) saw all of them gathering in front of a tree, weird! Wondering what's happening, we went through the crowd and saw these creature, climbing up on this tree and stayed there quietly.

Never saw this creature before so we asked several teachers and they all gived a similar answer saying that it is possably a cuscus. Went googling for it, but guessed that not much information could be gained from this species. Except for that it's unremarkably quiet and calm, hardly make a noise unless it is disturbed which explained why the cuscus could remained silent on the tree.

The next day, the cuscus is gone. Wonder where it gone to or maybe our school chased it out, but we never saw it again. Well, we all thought that it's considered as an endangered species if it's really a cuscus and so we need to protect it. And if anyone ever saw this creature please report it to the authorised personnel.
