The Southern common cuscus (Phalanger mimicus) is also known as Australian cuscus, Grey cuscus, Grey phalanger, and To-ili. An arboreal marsupial, it is endemic to Australia (Cape York), southern New Guinea and possibly the Aru Islands. Until recently, it was considered conspecific with P. intercastellanus, and before that also with P. orientalis.
Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or common:
“I sometimes wonder that we can be so frivolous ... as to attend to the gross but somewhat foreign form of servitude called Negro Slavery, there are so many keen and subtle masters that enslave both north and south. It is hard to have a southern overseer; it is worse to have a northern one; but worst of all when you are the slave-driver of yourself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am now old enough to make common cause with my predecessors against my successors.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
