Whilst most of the commonly known marsupials such as kangaroos, koalas, wallabies and wombats are herbivorous, there is a large group of carnivorous marsupials, known as Dasyurids. The dasyurid marsupials include the Tasmanian Devil, Quoll (various species), and marsupial mice including the Dunnart, Phascogale and Antechinus.
The Thylacine (also known as the Tasmanian Tiger), extinct since 1936, was also carnivorous.

∙ 14y agoMost marsupials are herbivores, and some are omnivores, such as the bilby and bandicoot, obtaining protein from insects and larvae. There is a group of carnivorous marsupials known as the dasyurids, which includes creatures such as the Tasmanian Devil and quolls, and many smaller kangaroo species such as the antechinus, dunnart and planigale.
