Unlike bears and ground squirrels, marsupials do not hibernate. However, some species may enter a temporary state of torpor during extreme winter conditions to conserve energy. Kangaroos and wallabies are examples of marsupials that may exhibit this behavior.
How much steviva powder equals 1 tablespoon sugar?
Asked by Wiki User
Typically, you can replace 1 tablespoon of sugar with about 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon of stevia powder. Keep in mind that stevia is much sweeter than sugar, so you'll need much less of it. It's best to start with a small amount and adjust to taste.

Why are there no marsupials in Africa?
Asked by Wiki User
Marsupials are native to the Australian continent and nearby islands, with the exception of the Americas where opossums are found. Africa's geographical isolation, different evolutionary history, and ecological factors likely prevented the evolution and spread of marsupials on the continent.

No animal eats gum trees.
Koalas eat gum leaves and flowers, as do Ringtail possums and greater gliders, whilst wombats will sometimes eat the leaves and shoots around the base of very young trees. Possums and gliders will eat nectar-laden flowers, as will many species of parrots and honeyeaters.
Is an sugar glider a predator or prey?
Asked by Wiki User
Sugar gliders are considered prey animals in the wild, as they are relatively small and are hunted by predators such as owls, snakes, and larger mammals. However, they do have some predator-like behaviors when hunting insects or small animals.
What is produced when sugar is digested in an animal cell?
Asked by Wiki User
When sugar is digested in an animal cell, it is broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose is used by the cell to produce energy through cellular respiration. Additionally, any excess glucose can be stored as glycogen for later use.
Asked by Wiki User
Marsupials breathe through their nostrils using lungs, just like other mammals. They have a diaphragm for breathing and exchange oxygen in their bloodstream through respiration. Their respiratory system functions similar to that of placental mammals, despite some anatomical differences.
Asked by Wiki User
"Species" refers to a group of organisms with similar characteristics and capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring. It is a fundamental unit of biological classification.

Why did the desert rat-kangaroo become extinct?
Asked by Wiki User
It is believed that habitat alteration by humans and predation by introduced cats and foxes caused the extinction of the desert rat-kangaroo.
However, it is uncertain whether or not the desert rat kangaroo is truly extinct. It was only discovered in 1843, but disappeared again just as quickly. It was rediscovered briefly in 1931 by Hedley Herbert Finlayson, Curator of Mammals at the South Australian Museum, but has not been seen again since. Some scientists believe that it is a very elusive creature which could still exist in the remote desert.
Do marsupials survive in the winter?
Asked by Wiki User
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.
