A cuscus in the distant treetops. Luckily we would see them up close and personal later in Papua.
The main reason we went: the tarsier. The worlds tiniest, and likely cutest, primate. Apparently their eyes are literally bigger than their stomachs. So big, they can't even move them in their sockets. Instead they can rotate their heads almost 360 degrees. Based on the reaction of all the female tourists, the first thing I'm getting if Susan ever leaves me is a tarsier. Like a puppy times ten.
