What reptiles do spotted tail quolls eat?
Spotted tailed quolls eat small lizards and tree snakes but they prefer other meats such as rodents and other small mammals, roosting birds (including chickens), invertebrates and even cane toads - the latter being a common cause of quoll deaths.
Not all marsupials eat fruit. Only marsupials such as tree kangaroos and certain species of possums eat fruit.
Other marsupials may be herbivorous, insectivorous or even carnivorous.
What does the word marsupials mean?
Marsupials refers to an order of mammals that incubate their young, which are born very undeveloped, in pouches on their mother's abdomen. Marsupials include koalas, kangaroos and possums. Not all marsupials have a pouch, properly known as a marsupium, but most do have well-developed pouches.
Marsupials are a class of mammals that live primarily in Australasia. They have pouches and include the species kangaroos, wallabies, and wombats.

Pet shops around Bangkok and Chiang Mai usually have them. However, the most popular place to find them is in the pet area of Chatachuk Market, aka JJ Market, where tons of them are crammed into tiny cages and left out in the heat all day long.

A Seahorse has a brood pouch, in which the female deposits the eggs.
There is a "marsupial bird" called a Sungrebe, found in South America. Immediately after the young chicks hatch, the male places them in pouches under his wings, and leaves the nest, presumably tending the chicks while keeping them under his wings.
The Emperor penguin incubates the female's egg in a brood pouch.
The extinct Thylacine of Australia, or Tasmanian Tiger, had a pouch, but not for the purpose of carrying the joeys - it was for protecting its male reproductive parts while it ran through dense underbrush.
Can lantana kill the Northern quoll?
Not directly. Northern quolls are carnivorous and do not eat plants and vegetation. Lantana is, however, an invasive species that kills off native grasses and vegetation from which naive mammals and birds feed, hence reducing the number of animals for the Northern quoll to prey upon.

It is a popular misconception that the word "kangaroo" is an Aboriginal word meaning "I don't understand you". However, this is a myth. No marsupial's name means "do not understand".

In my experience, after the baby is out of the pouch, 8 weeks they can go to new home.
To clarify, the eight weeks doesn't start until the baby is out of the pouch.

No marsupials lay eggs. The only egg-laying mammals are monotremes, and the species in Australia are the platypus and the short-beaked echidna.
Both the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna are found on the island of New Guinea.
What is the Honey Possum's scientific classifications?
The Honey Possum (Tarsipes rostratus), also known as the "Noolbenger", is the last member of the genus "Tarsipes" and family "Tarsipedidae". It is the only surviving member of a marsupial group that has been extinct for a very long time. There are some disagreements about how distinct the species is and if the classification should be changed to reflect that distinction. The following is a list of the scientific classifications:

Numbats feed almost exclusively on termites, although they will sometimes eat other types of ants. They have sharp claws for digging into termite mounds, although they prefer to dig out termites from under logs and underground, being able to detect them with their very sensitive noses. They have a sticky tongue for collecting the termites. A numbat eats as much as 20,000 termites a day.
Baby numbats (joeys) feed on mothers' milk.

Is there a type of termite that can eat through steel?
No
----------------------------------------------------------
I am no entomological expert, but I can say with some confidence that no such species exists. Termites eat through wood because it is high in cellulose, in fact they will eat almost anything high in cellulose (one of the few animal species that can process raw cellulose).
The termites themselves do not process the cellulose, though. They have symbiont protozoans in their hindgut that do this for them, so they survive through a symbiotic relationship with these gut protozoans.
As a species, termites are defined by this dependence on cellulose. So, if an insect species was found to eat steel, it would most likely not be classified as a termite. Steel does not contain cellulose.
Do sugar glider have to eat bugs?
Their diet generally consists of 50% bugs. Bugs provide them with protein.
