It looks vaguely like a falanouc, littlek, but I guess we can rule that out because of location.
So, I have eliminated falanouc and pheasant thus far.

Is it capable of flight, littlek?

I need another clue. I already have South Pacific, and it looks like a prehensile tail, and it's clearly a mammal.
Is it a "fully" prehensile tail?
Is it a marsupial?
Are you sure it's not a Kinkajou?

It is related to the possum, I think, and from New Guinea. I am not sure if it is related to the kinkajou.

Ok, Spotted Cuscus.
It seems to have a white phase also.
I was so close... I just didn't go deep enough into the possum varieties to see it.
Good animal. I've never seen one before.

Anyway, here's the next critter before I go to bed....

This thread hasn't been so fast-paced in months! That moth looks familiar...

Correct. It may also be the largest moth in the world. (I think different varieties of Cecropia are in other countries as well).
You're up.

Cool. It looks like it's related to the hyena, although it looks less robust in the jaw. It's probably an African savanah animal, and smaller than a hyena, is that close?
