It may be an Australian Cuscus (Phalanger orientalis timorensis). |

I think Jinsuk is right. Gray cuscus (Phalanger orientalis) is thought to have originated on New Guinea and then to have been distributed primarily by prehistoric humans to nearby islands, including Timor.

I think it might be a ground cuscus. Tim Flannery's excellent books on wildlife of New Guinea and the accompanying volume on nearby island groups would be a good place to start (though it doesn't cover Timor specifically). |
