What is Australia's strangest mammal?

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.
