Yes. The term "Marsupial mouse" covers a range of small, carnivorous marsupials in Australia, including the phascogale, dunnart, ningaui, planigale and antechinus, just to name a few. They all have a short gestation period, giving birth to undeveloped young. Many of them have pouches in which the young are raised, though in sme cases, the joeys cling to the mother's underside, secured in place by the teats which have swollen in their mouths in order to provide permanent nutrition while they are developing.
