Australia's strangest mammal is often considered to be the platypus, with its leathery bill equipped with electroreceptors, webbed feet with retractable webbing, and reproduction via egg-laying. However, the echidna is also very strange, as it, too, lays eggs in order to reproduce, and it has very thick fur with many sharp spines. However, a little known very strange animal is the marsupial mole, of which there are two species - the southern marsupial mole (itjaritjari) and the northern marsupial mole (kakarratul). Spending virtually its entire life underground, it completely lacks eyes, looks like a mop, and is a marsupial, rearing its young in a pouch.
