Of course. Many of the world's marsupials live in Australia, most of which has relatively mild winters. Marsupials living in colder parts of the continent have thicker fur: for example, koalas in Australia's south have thicker fur than their northern counterparts.

The Mountain Pygmy Possum is a tiny marsupial which inhabits the alpine region of Australia's southeast, and it is the only Australian mammal which hibernates. other marsupials also live in the alpine areas, such as wombats, wallabies and wallaroos, but they do not hibernate.
