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:
“... as a result of generations of betrayal, it’s nearly impossible for Southern Negroes to trust a Southern white. No matter what he does or what he suffers, a white liberal is never established beyond suspicion in the hearts of the minority.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 10 (1962)
“The last Night that She lived
It was a Common Night
Except the Dying—this to Us
Made Nature different”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
