This is my silky cuscus. It is a new species, discovered in 2009. We named it Midnight. She is a baby girl. We found her in the grocery store. Someone was trying to sell her and we already had a cage, just waiting for a cuscus. So when we found her, I was pretty excited.
Now that we have Midnight, we have 41 pets.
30 of them are fish.
6 are guinea pigs
1 wallaby
1 cockatoo
1 cuscus
1 dog
1 cat
It is fun to have so many pets, but a lot of work to feed them, but still, I love them.
That looks like a very interesting animal. Do you know if it is related to the hyrax in Africa? I have had friends who had a hyrax for a pet but it was grey. I just had my husband look at the picture. He doesn't think they look that much alike.
ReplyDeleteHi Again! From what I can tell, the cuscus is a marsupial related to possums, lemurs and sloths. The Hyrax is a rodent and actually related to the hamster and the elephant if you can believe that!
