I got scratched by a cuscus once and so I went and put neon coloured bandaids on but when I came back to see the cuscus again it got really invested in my neon bandaids and scratched me even more. The moral of the story: don’t wear neon pink and green bandaids into cuscus territory.

There are some others marsupials that are also rare and few know about them. I'd really like to know more about the water possum. World's only semi-aquatic marsupial. I think in a few million years they could evolve into marsupial whales 😂 imagine that

Finally, leaser known animals are getting the spot, can you do bee flies next most people have never even seen one and when they do they are often terrified and try to swat them despite their ecological importance and being completely harmless to humans and animals in general they also look cute and weird like if a humming birds and bumble bee had a baby only down side is that their larva are parasitoid for other insects

Hey, you asked for suggestions on other animals to cover. I grew up in a swamp on the East coast of central Florida in the 70s. There were these amazing large grasshoppers in our area that were bright yellow with large red and green spots. They moved very slowly, at a crawl or would else sit still, and avoided jumping. I thought they must be poisonous, but I wasn't sure. Over the years, I've looked for information on these grasshoppers but have never found mention of them. I'm not sure if they even still exist. Thanks.
