Ailurops ursinus
This arboreal marsupial lives in the tree canopy and was difficult to photograph. It is a fascinating example of a species from the Wallacean biogeographic region where both Australasian and Asiatic species occur. It is endemic to Sulawesi.
A guide assisted with this spotting (I would never have found it on my own)!

You lucky guy! That is a wonderful spotting!
Mark, your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Nice spotting!
