Marsupials

The wombat is a thickset, burrowing marsupial but it is not restricted just to the Australian island of Tasmania. It is also found on the mainland of Australia, mostly in the southern half of the continent.

Predators of the kowari include owls and quolls. Introduced predators include dogs, foxes and feral cats.

Yes, the dunnart has a pouch. Most, not all, marsupials do have a pouch.

because without sugar, food in Australia would be very boring ;)

The animals commonly known as mice and rats are not marsupials, but placental mammals. However, there are some marsupials commonly termed "marsupial mice". The term "Marsupial mouse" covers a range of small, carnivorous marsupials in Australia, including the phascogale, dunnart, ningaui, planigale and antechinus, just to name a few.

Male red tailed phascogales rarely live after their first mating: they often die from stress related reasons afterwards. Thus, the average life span for males is just under a year. Females can live for four years.

They don't need to drink water and there native predators are the owl and the quoll

Predators of the tiny musky-rat kangaroo include dingoes, wild dogs and quolls. Quolls are carnivorous marsupials, sometimes incorrectly called "native cats".

About six months.

9 of the 10 fat-tailed mouse opossums (not the Paraguayan Fat-Tailed Mouse Opossum), the Fat-Tailed Dunnart, the Fat-Tailed False Antechinus, and 4 of the 5 pygmy possums (not the Mountain Pygmy Possum) are mouse-like marsupials that store fat in their tails.

The dibbler is a small Australian marsupial which somewhat resembles a mouse. It averages 14cm head-body length, with a 9-11 cm tail which is much thicker at the base, tapering to a pointed end. Its fur is a rich brown on its back, flecked with cream, and tending to a cinnamon colour on its flanks. It is distinguished by clear white eye-rings, whilst its abdomen is yellow-grey.

The phascogale is a tiny, omnivorous marsupial found only in Australia. It builds a nest of bark, feathers and fur in hollow tree stumps and branches.

It will not be a numbat as they live in desert areas of Western Australia. It could be a Dusky Anetchinus, which is found south of Queensland down to Victoria.

No. While most native mammals in Australia (apart from bats and monotremes) are marsupials, there are numerous species of native rodents. The Spinifex Hopping Mouse is also known as the Tarrkawarra, and it is a rodent, not a marsupial.

There are two species of marsupial mole.

Southern marsupial moles are found through the arid regions of central Australia. Their main distribution is through the Northern Territory and South Australia, but they are found in asmall area within southeastern Western Australia.

A distribution map can be found at the related weblink below.

Northern marsupial moles are found across the arid northwest of Australia. A distribution map is also available at the second related weblink below.

Dibblers are one of the class of Australian carnivorous marsupials known as dasyurids. Hence, they eat small vertebrates such as tiny mammals, birds and reptiles, as well as a variety of invertebrates such as insects and insect larvae. They will resort to eating vegetation if the supply of live prey is too low.

The mulgara is a small, burrowing, carnivorous marsupial which lives in the desert areas of Australia. It has an appearance similar to that of a small rat.

They eat grasshoppers, beetles, termites, grubs, lizards, and small mice, reptiles, and amphibians. They're known to eat more than they're body weight in one night.

The two species of marsupial mole are barely distinguishable from each other. Both the Northern marsupial mole (Kakarratul) and the Southern marsupial mole (Itjaritjari) average 120-160 mm in length, with a tail length of 20-25 mm.

Because the sandhill dunnart is subject to predation by introduced species such as foxes and feral cats and dogs, one of the best measures is to set aside secure, protected areas for them, within their natural habitat. This has worked to help conserve the bilby in far southwestern Queensland. Tracking animals in existing colonies is also useful, as scientists can determine other threats, and also their range and distribution.

A dibbler is a small, endangered marsupial native to Australia, and about the size of a mouse - hence, it is often grouped with the so-called "marsupial mice" of Australia. It is one of the group of marsupials known as dasyurids, which includes all the carnivorous marsupials. Thought to be extinct for many years, this tiny creature was rediscovered in a limited number of coastal heath and mallee heath regions of southwest Western Australia. To feed, the dibbler forages for both vertebrates and invertebrates in leaf litter, or it climbs the leaves of shrubs to catch insects.

They previously lived in Tasmania as well as on the Australian mainland. However, they became extinct on the mainland 3,000 years ago. Currently, the Tasmanian devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world.

The reason Tasmanian devils now live only in Tasmanian is because they were essentially forced out by the dingo. The Aborigines came over from Asia many thousands of years ago, and brought this non-native carnivorous mammal with them. Both animals were at the top of the food chain, but the dingo was larger and stronger, and proved too much competition for the Tasmanian devil.
