	Marsupial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marsupials are mammals in which the female typically has a pouch (called the marsupium, from which the name 'Marsupial' derives) in which it rears its young through early infancy.
		Marsupials have a cloaca [1] [2] that is connected to a urogenital sac in both sexes.
		The early birth of marsupials removes the developing young much sooner than in placental mammals, and marsupials have not needed to develop a complex placenta to protect the young from its mother's immune system.

	Marsupial mole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The marsupial moles are rare and poorly understood burrowing mammals of the deserts of western Australia.
		For many years their place within the Marsupials was hotly debated, some workers regarding it as an offshoot of the Diprotodontia (the order to which most living marsupials belong), others noting similarities to a variety of other creatures, and making suggestions that, in hindsight, appear bizarre.
		Molecular level analysis in the early 1980s showed that the marsupial moles are not closely related to any of the living marsupials, and that they appear to have followed a separate line of development for a very long time, at least 50 million years.

	Marsupial Evolution and Post Flood Migration
		The marsupial counterparts are in many cases identical to a placental twin, and distinguishing them as unrelated is not possible without a much closer inspection than necessary for the differences we typically use to distinguish the Biblical kinds.
		In most marsupials the broad sequence of changes in the ovary and the genital tract are similar, however the general timing of events in the reproductive cycles is different between marsupials and even between species and subspecies.
		The marsupial mode of reproduction is very complex, and the evolution from placental to marsupial would require the simultaneous alteration of several independent systems not to mention the development of the pouch and the physical capability necessary for the fetus to crawl to the pouch.

	Marsupial Mammals
		Marsupials are the group of mammals commonly thought of as pouched mammals (like the wallaby and kangaroo at left).
		The marsupials of South America began to go extinct in the late Miocene and Early Pliocene when a land connection with North America formed, allowing placental mammals to cross into South America.
		There are several cases of convergent evolution between marsupials and placental mammals, in which the two animals have evolved to fill the same ecological niche in different parts of the world.

		They are generally distinguished from the higher, or placental, mammals by the absence of a placenta connecting the embryo with its mother, although in a few forms the female has a rudimentary placenta that functions for a short time.
		In nearly all marsupials the female’s nipples are covered by a pouch, or marsupium, formed by a fold of abdominal skin.
		Thus, there are animals known as Tasmanian wolves (see thylacine), marsupial moles, marsupial mice, and native cats (see dasyure), which live very much like the correspondingly named placental mammals and, in many cases, are strikingly similar in appearance.

	Marsupial mole - Notoryctes typhlops: More Information - ARKive
		The thick and powerful body is neatly adapted for moving around under the sand, with fused neck bones (vertebrae) for greater rigidity, a horny shield on the nose (2), and oversized flat claws on the third and fourth digits of the short forelimbs for digging (4).
		The marsupial mole is found in the central deserts of southern Northern Territory, northern and east-central Western Australia and western South Australia (1) (2).
		Reported separately as both diurnal and nocturnal, the marsupial mole appears to be quite active, pursuing prey including ant pupae, scarab beetle larvae, sawfly larvae, moth larvae and adult beetles with fervour (2).

	Extinct Marsupial - Encyclopedia Dramatica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Extinct Marsupial is an infamous troll on Livejournal.
		It's clear that the Marsupial, for all his pretensions to being a 1337 h4XX0r, couldn't code his way out of a pay toilet, simply from the edits he's attempted to make to this article (when he hasn't been deleting it completely).
		The name derives from his extreme fondness for marsupials, in particular the now-extinct marsupial wolf or "thylacine," to such an extent that LJ Abuse's nickname for him is "the Extinct Marsupial." Apart from those seen here, no pictures are known to exist of the Extinct Marsupial in any sort of marsupial fursuit.

	Abiogenesis and the Origin of Life
		One of the most common criticisms that creationism is hit with is that the exclusive marsupial fauna of the Australian region is great evidence against the story of the Ark and animal migration from it.
		The Marsupial nature of Australia is not an anomaly but rather a revelation of the true history or equation of animal migration and adaptation after leaving the Ark. It suits creationists fine.
		Marsupial dogs and cats are the same kinds as regular dogs and cats, and likewise related to dogs and cats (in the fossil record but now extinct) also with minor regional body differences that lived in certain places on earth.

		Because they live underground, Marsupial Moles are blind and have a very poor sense of hearing, but their senses of touch and of smell are quite highly developed.
		Marsupial Moles are quite different from other Marsupials and appear to be closer relatives to Bandicoots or African Golden Moles than to most other animals.

	Strange Chile Creature Is A Marsupial
		"It is a small mammal, known as a micromammal, specifically a marsupial and given the region it was found, would correspond with a high degree of certainty to a "monito del monte".
		To reach the conclusion that it is this "monito" or a marsupial, we are mainly based in the fact that the anterior members present five fingers with an opposable thumb.
		Bear in mind that marsupials in Chile hibernate during the winter.

		The ecological literature on marsupials is dominated by descriptive natural history, and there has hitherto been little attempt at either synthesis or evolutionary interpretation.
		Second, by careful comparison with the eutherians, the scope of the marsupial radiation is used to analyse the role of developmental constraints and adaptive radiation in determining the diversification of higher taxa.
		Lastly, it is suggested that the accessibility of marsupial young during their obligatory pouch life facilitates measurement, manipulation and assessment of kinship not possible in other mammalian groups.
