These are the pouched mammals (actually, not all marsupials are pouched) and include:some sixty species of kangaroo, including wallaroo, potoroo, pademelon, rufous rat-kangaroo and wallabykoalawombatpossum (not opossum)gliderpotoroobandicoot, including the bilbyquokkaquollTasmanian Devilphascogaledunnartcuscusbettongnumbat (not a pouched marsupial, but a marsupial nonetheless)antechinusnative hopping mouseMonotremes (egg laying mammals) are also native to Australia.
