	Monito del Monte
		The Monito del Monte (Dromiciops australis) is a semi-aboreal South American marsupial which is thought to be more closely related to the marsupials of Australasia than to those of the Americas.
		Also known as the Colocolo, it is only a little larger than a mouse: about 8 to 13 cm long with a thick-based, moderately prehensile tail about the same length again.
		The distant ancestors of the Monito del Monte, it is thought, either remained in what is now South America while others entered Antarctica and eventually Australia during the time when all three continents were joned as part of Gondwana, or else were part of the Australian marsupial fauna which reinvaded South America.

	marsupials of Patagonia
		The order is known only from South American; currently, Dromiciops is found in the Andes of Chile and Argentina.
		Dromiciops is a small animal with a long, moderately prehensile tail and silky, dense pelage.
		Dromiciops has a peculiar skull, especially compared to that of the didelphids (with which it was once classified).

		DNA Hybridization Evidence for the Australasian Affinity of the American Marsupial Dromiciops australis -- Kirsch et al.
		Because of the large genetic distances separating marsupial families, trees were calculated from normalized percentages of hybridization; thermal-melting statistics, however, gave identical topologies for the well-supported clades.
		The most notable results were the association of the only extant microbiotheriid, Dromiciops australis, an American marsupial, with the Australasian Diprotodontia, and of both together with the Dasyuridae.

	ANNOTATIONS 18(1)
		The relationship of Dromiciops australis to other marsupials: data from DNA-DNA hybridisation studies.
		Dromiciops, a South American marsupial, was first assumed to be an opossum, but some studies have suggested it might be more closely related to the Australian marsupials than to the other South American marsupials.
		The results are interpreted as indicating that Dromiciops is distinct from both groups of marsupials, and should be classified in a group by itself.

	ANIMAL BYTES - Order Microbiotheria
		This species, Dromiciops australis, has the smallest distribution of any extant mammalian order.
		They are only found in south central Chile from Concepcion south to Chiloe Island, and east to mountain ranges just past the border with Argentina.
		Births occur from November to May. As with all marsupials, the majority of fetal development occurs inside a pouch on the female's abdomen.

	Evolutionary Biology - Phylogeny of Marsupials based on phosphoglycerate kinase DNA sequences
		For instance, in 1982 Szalay separated the group into two cohorts, the Ameridelphia, restricted to the Americas, and the Australidelphia, comprising all Australasian marsupials and, surprisingly, the South American "monito del monte" Dromiciops australis.
		In this study (reported in Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution 11: 13-26) partial sequences were obtained for phosphoglycerate kinase (Download

	WWF - The Area (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The huillín (Lontra provocax) or river otter, for example, has been identified by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) as the most endangered carnivore in the Southern Hemisphere, and its distribution has been reduced to just a small fraction of what it was.
		Other threatened species include almost all native freshwater fish, whose historical populations have dropped drastically, and the marsupial monito del monte (Dromiciops gliroides).
		Endangered species in the ecoregion include 14 species of mammals like Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus), Huillín (Lontra provocax) Guigna (Oncifelis guigna) and Pudú (Pudu pudu), 10 species of birds, like Carpintero Magallánico (Campephilus magellanicus), and at least 4 species of amphibians like Challhuaco Frog (Atelognathus nitoi), and 5 species of Freshwater fish, in Argentina and Chile.

		The northernmost range of alerce trees in the world are found in the Valdivian Coastal Reserve
		The mountain monkey (Dromiciops australis), is a tree-dwelling marsupial
		The Nature Conservancy, working with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), first acquired the Valdivian property for $7.5 million in late 2003 at a public auction following the bankruptcy of the forestry company Bosques S.A. The company’s largest creditor, FleetBoston Financial Corporation, now owned by Bank of America, facilitated the land acquisition.
