A joey is the young of any marsupial, so it will depend upon the parent animal. A joey of a kangaroo looks just like a smaller version of the kangaroo. A wombat joey looks like a miniature wombat. A bilby joey looks like a smaller bilby. However, when first born, all of these animals are about the size of a bean, pink and hairless.
Male numbats attract females by using their scent gland. Prior to the mating season, which occurs through December and January, the male's stern all gland, positioned in the middle of the top of its chest, starts to exude a strong-smelling, oily substance. This not only turns its fur red, but the numbat uses it to rub over rocks and logs to let females know he is ready to mate.
Kangaroos, like all mammals, are sexual. All mammals reproduce sexually.
Strictly speaking, bandicoots are omnivores, feeding on a variety of plants, insects and meat. They feed on insects and other small invertebrates such as earthworms, insect larvae and spiders, and also eat plant bulbs and tubers, roots and truffle-like fungi. Sometimes they eat old, fallen fruit.
Because they aren't. They're born from the birth canal, down by the tail. But they're born real tiny. then they make their way into the pouch, latch onto a teat and finish their baby stage there.
Although the Opossum in America has a "rat-like" tail, they are marsupials. They have pouches to carry their young in, similar to the famous kangaroo or koala. Upon closer inspection, their tail is different from a rat's along with their fur. Their tail is able to be controlled and has a grip on it, and is quite strong.
Yes. Of the world's 20 or so species of goanna, around 15 of them are found in Australia.
The bilby is warm blooded. It is a mammal, and all mammals are warm blooded.
Cuscuses are possum-like marsupials of northern Australia and New Guinea. They are herbivores, living on leaves and fruits. Occasionally, cuscuses will eat small insects and invertebrates.
Unless you have a special native animal carer's licence, it is not legal to own a sugar glider in Australia - which is how it should be, given that they are wild animals, and not meant to be domesticated.
Female kangaroos have 2 vaginas an two uteruses.They also have a third canal that is used solely for birth.
Female kangaroos have what are called paired lateral vaginae.These are for the purpose of transporting the s perm to the womb,but there is a mad line pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth.
This depends entirely on the species of marsupial.
For the larger marsupials (e.g. Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos), the average is about 7 months. They may continue to suckle for several months longer, but are no longer dependent on the mother.
Bilbies stay in the mother's pouch for 75 to 80 days. Smaller marsupials such as phascogales are transferred to a nest after 40 days.
Numbats' weight ranges between about 280 grams and 550 grams - just over half a kilogram. In imperial measurement, this is the equivalent of between 9.8 ounces and 19.4 ounces. Some larger specimens may weigh up to 715 grams.
True possums are native to Australia, and are quite different to the North American opossum. Possums live in all of the states of Australia.

No. Bandicoots do not eat frogs. Bandicoots eat earthworms, insects and insect larvae.
A bandicoot is a small marsupial of Australia, with a body length ranging from 30cm to 43 cm, depending on the species. It has longer hind legs than forelegs, with its hind legs resembling those of a kangaroo. It has a long snout and large ears. The bandicoot's fur is grey-brown with a speckled or sometimes barred appearance, whilst underneath its fur is paler, to a creamy-white. The female bandicoot has a backward-facing pouch to protect the young when she digs. Look in the related links for pictures of the bandicoot.
No they are not primates even though they might look like it and if you think about it, they do kinda sound like it. But they do not have aposeable thumbs. Thus, sloths are not primates and are not related to monkeys either...
Yes, opossums have intercourse. Males' penises split in the middle, making a "Y" shape. This is because females have two vaginas, leading to two separate uteruses, and the males must fertilize each one. After a gestation period of two weeks, the babies are born, helpless. They must climb up to the nipple, where they remain attached all the time until the become big enough to leave it, enter the bigger world, and eventually be weaned.
There are several species of potoroo.
The long-nosed potoroo is located along the eastern coast, from southeast Queensland down to Tasmania, and along the southern coast of Victoria.
The long-footed potoroo is rarer, existing in only two known locations in Victoria and one in far southwestern New South Wales.
Gilbert's potoroo is Australia's most endangered mammal, with only one known wild population at Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve near Albany, Western Australia, and an introduced colony on Bald Island just off the coast.
Potoroos build conical shaped burrows for protection.
