The black-spotted cuscus is a marsupial mammal that lives in trees in the forests of New Guinea. It has light fur with large black spots, a prehensile tail, and a pouch in females.
The black-spotted cuscus differs from other cuscuses with its bright black spots on the fur. It helps the forest by dispersing seeds of plants from the fruits it eats.
