What do we call animals with pouches?

Answer 1

Most animals with pouches belong to the group of mammals known as "marsupials".

However, not all marsupials have pouches, and not all animals with pouches are marsupials. The echidna, for example, develops a rudimentary pouch during the breeding season.

Answer 2

A mammal with a pouch is known as a marsupial.

This group of animals includes such creatures as kangaroos, koalas, wombats, wallabies, possums, Tasmanian devils, etc.

It should be noted that not all marsupials have fully developed pouches. Numbats, for example, are marsupials but do not have pouches.

Answer 3

Pouched mammals are known as marsupials. Marsupials give birth to undeveloped young which then spend several months attached to a teat in the pouch, from which they receive all their nutrients. The reat swells in their mouth and virtually locks them in place. Interestingly, not all marsupials have a pouch. The numbat, for example, does not have a pouch, yet the young joeys are still born undeveloped, and cling to their mother's underbelly, secured in place by the teat.

Answer 4

Generally, an animal with a pouch is known as a marsupial.

It should be noted, however, that not all marsupials have pouches. The numbat, for example, is a marsupial without a pouch.
