"Because of this the bear cuscus is very slow, very lethargic and slothlike." Me too Cuscus. Me too

Moral of the story: eat meat.

@gavinlamp5426 Год назад

"Okay, what do you want to be?' Cuscus: "I want to be a lemur. No, a sloth. No wait! An opossum! No wait, a binturong!"

@RomulusTheWild6693 Год назад

Finally, leaser known animals are getting the spot, can you do bee flies next most people have never even seen one and when they do they are often terrified and try to swat them despite their ecological importance and being completely harmless to humans and animals in general they also look cute and weird like if a humming birds and bumble bee had a baby only down side is that their larva are parasitoid for other insects

@wormworm580 Год назад

I got scratched by a cuscus once and so I went and put neon coloured bandaids on but when I came back to see the cuscus again it got really invested in my neon bandaids and scratched me even more. The moral of the story: don’t wear neon pink and green bandaids into cuscus territory.

There's probably a video of one on RU-vid. Do a search for it. It's real easy.

@darhaha3391 Год назад

There are some others marsupials that are also rare and few know about them. I'd really like to know more about the water possum. World's only semi-aquatic marsupial. I think in a few million years they could evolve into marsupial whales 😂 imagine that

Amazing ! Thanks for this discovery !

For some reason calling someone a _"Cuscus"_ was a insult in a school I went to in Sydney Australia (pre internet), with full awareness of what it was.

@facewrinkles3886 Год назад

Well people use sloth as a derogatory term and I could totally see a similar characteristic animal being thrown around like that. Australia moment!

@sharendonnelly7770 Год назад

The cuscus is truly and enigma, fascinating and truly an excellent example of convergent evolution, i.e. monkeys, sloths, marsupials. Every video I watch I grow to appreciate the incredibly intricate artwork that represents the animal discussed. Wow factor 10+. Great video!

And these sweeties are EAST of "The Wallace Line", so within the Australian fauna area. It makes sense that they are marsupials.

@Astrapionte Год назад

I just love marsupials. Oddly, my favorite feature of theirs are their hands. Koalas and cuscuses, for example, have those amazing fingers and bird like claws 😊

@Nikki0417 Год назад

Can you do the livestreams of drawing the animals weekly? It’s really relaxing to watch them

@marymccluer1630 Год назад

Hey, you asked for suggestions on other animals to cover. I grew up in a swamp on the East coast of central Florida in the 70s. There were these amazing large grasshoppers in our area that were bright yellow with large red and green spots. They moved very slowly, at a crawl or would else sit still, and avoided jumping. I thought they must be poisonous, but I wasn't sure. Over the years, I've looked for information on these grasshoppers but have never found mention of them. I'm not sure if they even still exist. Thanks.

Heard of the cuscus back in the 90's. I forget what the commercial was about, but one of the things the announcer said was to the effect of "Ever have a cuscus on your head?" There was a cuscus clinging to the guy's head, probably just hanging around.

Due to their arboreal life, cuscus seems to have evolved somewhat in a similar direction to primates, especially lemurs and other primitive monkeys.
