Marsupials

No. Only mammal's like dogs, cats, horses, monkeys, lions, tigers,............. could go on forever, basically anything warm blooded. (a mammal )

Most animals with pouches belong to the group of mammals known as "marsupials".

However, not all marsupials have pouches, and not all animals with pouches are marsupials. The echidna, for example, develops a rudimentary pouch during the breeding season.

No. Quolls do not hibernate. The only Australian marsupial which undergoes any period of hibernation is the Mountain Pygmy possum.

No. Although omnivorous, bandicoots do not bite humans. These marsupials are shy and will avoid humans. They are also not like rats or other rodents.

Like any wild animal, however, a bandicoot may seek to defend itself if it is feeling threatened; thus, like any wild animal, it should never be cornered.

Bandicoots are rapidly becoming rarer because of loss and change to their habitat as well as from competition with other animals for food sources. The introduction of large animals for livestock, and rabbits, has greatly reduced the bandicoot's habitat and food source. In the past, attempts to trap and poison rabbits had an adverse effect on the bandicoot population as well. Because bandicoots are common in suburban backyards, where they perform the useful task of digging up lawn gubs and other insect larvae, domestic cats and dogs pose a threat to their survival. Poisoning of lawns for the purpose of getting rid of lawn grubs is also a problem.

Numbats are small, timid marsupials which hide from predators and other possible threats in hollow logs and branches. Unlike other marsupials, they are completely diurnal, meaning they are active during the day and sleep at night.

Numbats may eat up to 10% of their own body weight in termites every day, which means they may eat up to 20,000 termites daily. They 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.

Numbats, being marsupials, give birth to live young which are undeveloped and only about the size of a jellybean. They must continue their development in the mother's pouch. In the case of the numbat, the pouch is just an open flap of skin. The baby numbats are initially secured by the swelling of the teat in their mouth.

Quolls are threatened by loss of habitat, and especially from predation by introduced species such as dogs, cats and foxes, as well as competition from introduced species. The Spotted-tail Quoll in the north, and the Northern quoll, are both being killed off as a result of eating the Cane Toad, which is poisonous. Timber harvesting in Tasmania poses a significant threat to the quoll's shelter and removes hiding places for the quoll's prey, resulting in less food.

In some areas, because quolls have been known to kill poultry, farmers have deliberately baited the marsupials. This is an illegal practice, but it still happens. Further, quolls are known to ingest the 1080 poison put down to control populations of feral cats, foxes and rabbits.

All marsupial young are called joeys, and this includes baby numbats.

Koalas can be found in a range of climatic conditions, as long as they have their food requirements met. They are known to inhabit cooler areas of southern Australia, including sub-alpine regions, and extend north up the Queensland coast (sub-tropical, but not rainforests) and inland where the weather is hotter and drier.

They are found right along the eastern coast down to Victoria, and in pockets of eastern South Australia, where summer temperatures can exceed 40 degrees and winter temperatures drop to almost zero.

They are not found in alpine areas.

No. Lemurs are not marsupials, but placental mammals.

The rainforest is one of the habitats in which sugar gliders live. They live in tree hollows in bushland and the rainforests of Australia.

Climatic conditions preferred by sugar gliders include rainforests and bushland (both wet and dry sclerophyll forest). They can adapt to cool-temperate climates, such as that found in Tasmania, and warmer, humid climates of northern Australia, but they are healthiest in drier bushland rather than moist rainforest.

Yes, they have quite an unpleasant odour, characteristic of a carnivorous carrion-eater.

Tiger quolls use all four limbs for walking, running and climbing.

The chuditch (Western Quoll), Spotted-Tailed Quoll and the Tasmanian Devil are all marsupials, found in Australia. The Vicuna is also a mammal, but of the family camelidae, meaning it is a member of the camel family.

There are some species of animals, including rabbits and (I presume) sugar gliders, who eat a lot of leaves and have a diet high in cellulose, and they cannot digest this diet with just one pass through their relatively small digestive systems (cows can digest cellulose because they have four stomachs, and can retain the food for much longer than a rabbit can). Eating their own feces (or pellets) gives them the chance to complete the digestive process.

Yes, the quoll does attack its prey. They attack their prey viciously in the neck.

The blind, furless, miniature newborn, the size of a jelly bean, crawls across its mother's fur to make its way into the pouch, where it latches onto a teat for food.

No; no Australian marsupials hibernate (apart from the Mountain pygmy possum which hibernates in mid-winter for up to three weeks).

I assume that you're talking about marsupial mammals. At first, they are born live, like human babies. The difference is that the mother's gestatoin period (nine months in humans) is very short, so the babies are born very undeveloped. After emerging from the birth canal, the babies must immediately crawl to the mother's nipple, which may or may not be surrounded by a pouch (for protection). They attach themselves to the nipple and suckle for several weeks or months without getting off it. By the end of this time, they are much more developed.
