Where do placental mammals live?

Placental mammals are mammals that give birth to fully developed live young, such as like humans, for instance. They are classed within the group of animals known as eutherians. Dogs, cats, livestock, rodents, giraffes, rhinoceroses, etc, are all placental mammals. This is opposed to the monotremes, which are egg-laying mammals (platypuses and echidnas) or marsupials (kangaroos, koalas, wombats, etc), which give birth to very undeveloped young that must complete their development attached to a nutrient-supplying teat, usually in the mother's pouch.
