cuscus
Cuscus is a type of arboreal marsupials native to the forests of the tropical regions of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. They are small to medium-sized marsupials and are known for their prehensile tails and long, sharp claws. It is also the common name for several species within the Phalangeridae family. However, in the culinary context, "couscous" is a traditional Berber dish of semolina which is cooked by steaming.
