Opossum Facts
Short list of facts about the only native North American marsupial, the Virginia opossum.
http://www.opossum.org/facts.htm

Extractions: North America's only marsupial (female has a pouch) mammal. The female carries and nurses her young in her marsupium until they are about 2 to 3 months old; then they are carried on her back another 1 to 2 months whenever they are away from the den. Size of a cat; grey to black fur; black eyes; pink nose, feet and tail; black ears; and pointed nose. Solitary and nocturnal: usually slow moving; when frightened and unable to flee may fall into an involuntary shock-like state, "playing 'possum". Hiss or growl and show their 50 sharp teeth when frightened; but, in reality, they are gentle and placid— they prefer to avoid all confrontations and wish to be left alone. Omnivorous: eats insects, snails, rodents, berries, over-ripe fruit, grasses, leaves, and carrion; occasionally will eat snakes, ground eggs, corn or other vegetables. Adaptable; able to live wherever water, food, and shelter exist. At home in trees; uses its prehensile tail to help stabilize position when climbing— it does not, however, hang by its tail. One of the shortest lived mammals for its size, typically 2 to 4 years. Killed by many predators: humans (and cars), dogs, cats, owls, and larger wildlife.

The Faunal Emblem Of South Australia
Facts about the hairy nosed wombat, a thick-set powerful marsupial indigenous to Australia.
http://www.premcab.sa.gov.au/emblems/wombat1.htm

Extractions: The Hairy-Nosed or Plains Wombat ( Lasiorhinus latifrons ) was adopted by the Government as the faunal emblem of South Australia on 27 August 1970. It is a marsupial mammal indigenous to Australia and totally protected in South Australia. The generic name, Lasiorhinus , means hairy-nosed and the specific name, latifrons , means broad-fronted. The Hairy-Nosed Wombat is a thick-set powerful mammal with a broad blunt head, small pointed ears, short muscular legs, strongly clawed feet and a rudimentary tail. It has soft grey-brown silky fur. Adults are up to 30 cm high, 75 to 95 cm long, and weigh between 18 and 32 kilos. The animal is adapted to life in semi-arid and arid zones and, apart from some small colonies in the south-east of Western Australia, is confined to South Australia. It is most abundant on Eyre Peninsula, the Gawler Ranges and the Nullarbor Plain. Smaller colonies occur on the west bank of the Murray River and on Yorke Peninsula. The Hairy-Nosed Wombat is essentially a plains dweller inhabiting many combinations of soils and vegetation, especially open woodlands and shrublands. It is a very powerful digger - only deterred by soft sand and unbroken sheet limestone - and excavates deep cool, humid burrows which are essential for survival in its hot, waterless environment. The wombat feeds exclusively on plant material which often is its only source of water.

Koala -- Kids' Planet -- Defenders Of Wildlife
Includes information about the size, appearance, habitat, life span, and diet of these eucalyptus leaf eating marsupials.
http://www.kidsplanet.org/factsheets/koala.html

Extractions: Tel: 1-800-385-9712 defenders@mail.defenders.org STATUS: Vulnerable. DESCRIPTION: Koalas have soft, wool-like fur that is gray above and white below. Their fur is mostly white on the underside below the neck, and their ears have long white hairs on the tips. The koala resembles a bear, but is actually a marsupial, a special kind of mammal which carries its young in a pouch. SIZE: Koalas are rather small, round animals. They weigh about 30 pounds and on average grow to be 2 feet tall. POPULATION: There are fewer than 100,000 koalas. LIFESPAN: Koalas can live as long as 17 years, although high mortality rates (due to car fatalities and dogs) for males lower their life expectancy to 2 to 10 years. RANGE: The koala's historic range stretches across Australia. Today they can be found only in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. HABITAT: Koalas prefer to live in eucalyptus forests, coastal islands, and low woodlands. FOOD: Koalas consume eucalyptus leaves and bark from 12 different eucalyptus tree species. They also consume mistletoe and box leaves. Koalas consume eucalyptus leaves and bark from 12 different eucalyptus tree species. They also consume mistletoe and box leaves.

Extractions: The Koala is a small marsupial (pouched mammal) that lives in Australia . Koalas are arboreal, they spend most of their time in eucalyptus (gum) trees. These nocturnal (most active at night) animals spend 18 to 20 hours each day resting and sleeping; they spend much of the night eating. They are aggressive animals who live in woodlands. Koalas are not bears; their closest relative is the wombat . The genus and species of the koala is Phascolarctos cinereus Anatomy : The koala is up to 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 m) long, weighing 10-30 pounds (4.5-13.5 kg). The soft, woolly fur is light-gray to brown, and it has patches of white on the chest, neck. and ears. This fur protects them from cold weather and rain. Koalas have rough pads on their feet and hands which are used for gripping the trees they live in. The koala's brain is very small. Like other young marsupials, baby koalas (called joeys) live in their mother's backwards-facing pouch for months. The koala is one of the few animals that has fingerprints (other animals with fingerprints include many

The Hall Of Mammals
University of California Museum of Paleontology site providing an introduction the Class Mammalia and to the subcategories of mammals, including the marsupials, monotremes, multituberculata, and the eutheria (placentals).
http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/mammal/mammal.html

Extractions: placental mammal , a group also called Eutheria by scientists. Placental mammals are one of three major groups of living mammals. Marsupials , or Metatheria, form another. This group includes all of the pouched animals, such as oppossums, kangaroos, and Tasmanian devils. The third group, the monotremes , are far less diverse and less well known. They are warm-blooded, have hair, and produce milk just like other mammals, but they lay eggs and do not give live birth like marsupials and placentals. A fourth major group, the Multituberculata , are entirely extinct, though they were once widespread and successful. To explore the world of mammals, click on the group of your choice in the image below. Mammals themselves are part of a larger tetrapod group called the Synapsida . Synapsids make up one of the two largest groups of amniote vertebrates. Note that not all synapsids were mammals. A non-mammalian member of Synapsida is Thrinaxodon . The Thrinaxodon exhibit is of special interest because it uses CAT-scan technology to view the internal structure of a Thrinaxodon skull.

Tasmanian Devils
Information on the carnivorous marsupial, including description, behavior, habitat, diet, photos and related links.
http://www.tasmanian-devils.org

Extractions: Loraine and Roger Ferus Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii or Sarcophilus laniarus) live only in Tasmania and are found from the coast to mountains. Their natural habitat is dry bush and scrub land. According to fossils found in Australia, at one time these animals occurred on the mainland, but became extinct about 500 years ago, even before European settlement began. It is believed that the dingo has ousted the Tasmanian devil from Australia. Tasmanian devils are the world's largest living carnivorous marsupials. Their body size varies greatly depending on habitat and available food. The average size is like a small dog. The body of a Tasmanian devil resembles that of a small bear. The animal is black or brownish and has a white throat patch and white spots on the sides. The average weight of these animals is 8-9 kg. The largest of which reaches up to 12 kg in weight and 30 cm high at the shoulders. The body length is about 60-65 cm. The tail is at least two thirds of the body length. The legs are short. The skull of a Tasmanian devil is flat and all the teeth are crowded together to give the mouth a powerful look. The upper incisors are rather long and sharp. Tasmanian devils live about 6-7 years both in the wild and in captivity.

One species is found in temperate North America ( Didelphis virginianus Metatheres diverged from the lineage leading to eutherian (placental) mammals by the Middle Cretaceous. Early diversification of metatheres is thought to have taken place in North America although, by the middle Miocene, the lineage became extinct on that continent, only reappearing around the time that North and South America regained contact in the Pliocene. The earliest marsupials are believed to have resembled North American opossums and other members of the family Didelphidae . A few fossil marsupials are known from Europe, Africa, and Asia, but this group was never well established on those continents.
