The Southern Common Cuscus (Phalanger intercastellanus) is also known as Grey Cuscus, Grey Phalanger, and To-ili. An arboreal marsupial, it is indigenous to New Guinea, and is thought to have been deliberately introduced to the Bismarck Archipelago and surrounding areas by humans 20-18 thousand years ago.
