The word “cuscus” can refer to two different things:
1. **Cuscus (animal)**: A cuscus is a type of marsupial found primarily in Australia and New Guinea. They belong to the family Phalangeridae and are known for their slow-moving, tree-dwelling habits. Cuscuses have thick fur, a long tail, and a herbivorous diet, feeding mainly on leaves and fruits.
2. **Couscous (cuscus)**: In culinary terms, “cuscus” is often a misspelling of “couscous,” which is a type of food made from crushed steamed durum wheat. It is a staple in North African cuisine and is commonly served with stews, vegetables, or meats.
