Abstract
Hiding in Indonesia's tropical forests is one of the cutest-and most creatively designed-creatures on the planet. The early morning sunlight filters through the windows of our rough-hewn tribal house in Papua, Indonesia. As our son Kian cooks a pot of oatmeal and warms himself by the stove's flame, the blanket on the couch quivers. Slowly, a little pink nose pokes out, twitches, and sniffs the air. It's Newt, our loyal (and hungry) pet spotted cuscus.
