No. Opossums, shrew opossums, and the Monito Del Monte (total 102 species) live in the Americas. Also, if you only meant to include the island of Australia in your question, then New Guinea, many islands between Sulawesi and New Guinea, Tasmania, and New Zealand also have marsupial species.
No marsupials live on Madagascar. Marsupials only live in Australia, nearby islands, South America, and (one species) North America.
No. Only one marsupial, the Virginia Opossum, is found in the wild in North America.Most marsupials live in Australia.
Australia is actually home to 120 different species of marsupials. A couple different types of marsupials found in Australia would be macropods and phalangers.
Very few marsupials hibernate. Those that do, such as the Mountain pygmy possum of Australia, do so only because they live in snowy, alpine regions where food sources are scarce in the winter months.
Of course. Many of the world's marsupials live in Australia, most of which has relatively mild winters. Marsupials living in colder parts of the continent have thicker fur: for example, koalas in Australia's south have thicker fur than their northern counterparts. The Mountain Pygmy Possum is a tiny marsupial which inhabits the alpine region of Australia's southeast, and it is the only Australian mammal which hibernates. other marsupials also live in the alpine areas, such as wombats, wallabies and wallaroos, but they do not hibernate.
No. No species of Australian marsupials migrate, although some are semi-nomadic.
Very few marsupials hibernate. Those that do, such as the Mountain pygmy possum of Australia, do so only because they live in snowy, alpine regions where food sources are scarce in the winter months.
There are no marsupials in Australia that lays eggs. The only egg-laying mammals are monotremes, and in Australia these are the platypus and the short-beaked echidna.
Marsupials are found on several of the continents. Australia is the continent on which 99% of the world's marsupials live. The opossum is a marsupial found in North America, but South America also has some marsupials, as does Asia. Some marsupials such as possums and tree kangaroos are also found on the island of New Guinea, which is not a continent.
Yes. Around 70% of the world's marsupials are found in Australia.
Most marsupials have pouches. The numbat is a notable exception.Pouched marsupials of Australia include:kangaroowallabywallaroopotoroobettongbandicootbilbycuscuskoalaTasmanian devilwombatpossum (not related at all to the North American opossum)glidermarsupial mice, including phascogale, kowari, ningaui, antechinus, dunnartkultarrquokkaquollmarsupial moledibbler
