A mammal which is not a marsupial or a monotreme is called a placental mammal. There is no opposite to a marsupial. An animal is either a marsupial or it is not. Marsupial is the term given to any mammal of the order Marsupialia whose young are born in an immature state and continue development in the "marsupium" (or pouch).
The lair of a burrowing animal is often called a den. Other times it may be referred to as a burrow, or a sett as it is with a badger.
