∙ 9y agoOnly the marsupials have pouches, so this limits the answer to any marsupials with pointed ears and a pointy snout.
It is not a kangaroo, as the kangaroo's snout is long, but not pointed.
The most likely answer is a bilby or a bandicoot (the bilby is part of the bandicoot family). These animals have pointed snouts for burrowing into the ground.
However, what is less known, is that the tiny carnivorous marsupials also have pointed snouts. Therefore, the answer could also be dunnart, dibbler, kultarr, antechinus, false antechinus, phascogale, mulgara or kowari.
