Can usually spot both Striped Possum and Grey Ground Cuscus in this exhibit. No luck on the cuscus on this occasion but found the possum curled up under a heat lamp.

does anyone know where either of these species were sourced from? i would realy like to know...additionally are any other cus-cus species found anywhere else other than asian/australian zoos
 
The Ground Cuscus came from Blackpool (Cuscus Central), I believe, as did Twycross's. The possums I'm not so sure. They had a pair of possums originally but now just have the one according to ISIS.

Thanks Maguari, does that mean Blackpool still hold Cuscus?
 
Yep - a single animal on show opposite the Monkey House and a group off show as far as I'm aware.
