	Monito del Monte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some native people are scared of the Monito del Monte and have been known to burn down their homes if they see one inside.
		The Monito del Monte is the only member of its family (Microbiotheriidae) and the only surviving member of an ancient order, the Microbiotheria, which is known from Oligocene and Miocene times in South America.
		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.

		The rodent genus Octodon comprises three species of degus, while the remaining four genera are all represented by single species: the Chilean climbing mouse (Irenomys tarsalis), the Chilean shrew opossum (Rhyncholestes raphanurus), the coruro (Spalacopus cyanus), and the monito del monte (Dromiciops gliroides, VU).
		The last-named species is not just the only genus in an endemic family, the Microbiotheriidae, but the only known representative of an entire order, the Microbiotheria (this is the only hotspot to host an endemic mammalian order).
		The species is known only in the proximity of Concepción south to Chiloé Island, south-central Chile, and in the mountains east of the Argentine border.

		These evolutionary ties between the South American Microbiotheriidae and the Australian marsupials help to illuminate the biogeographic history of the Marsupialia.
		The current hypothesis of Marsupial biogeography holds that Marsupials originated in North America, dispersed to South America (where they underwent a spectacular radiation), moved across Antarctica and into Australia where they enjoyed a second radiation.
		Consistent with this hypothesis, the Microbiotheriidae are either a relict of the line leading to the Australian marsupials, or they are a reinvasion of South America by the Australian forms.

	Pictures of monito del monte \| Microbiotheria facts
		The fossil history of Microbiotheria is only known from the late Oligocene and early Miocene of southern Argentina.
		Research Miconia MICROBIOTHERIA Microbiotheria is a family of Metatheria containing one family, Microbiotheriidae, with the species monito del monte (Dromiciops australis) found in the Andes of Chile and Argentina.
		Resolving the position of the South American monito del monte (Order Microbiotheria) is of particular importance in that alternate hypotheses posit sister-group relationships between microbiotheres and taxa with disparate temporal and geographic distributions: pediomyids; didelphids; dasyuromorphians; diprotodontians; all other australidelphians; and all other marsupials.

	Marsupiales de la Patagonia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		They live mainly in temperate forest and rainforest
		It also includes a genus of fossil species, Microbiotherium, which included six known species and lived during Oligocene and Miocene times.
		Research on the relationships of microbiotheres and other marsupials is an active and fascinating field, however, and the last word on the phylogeny of these animals probably has yet to be written.

		Your friend says "I was watching this program on the Family Microbiotheriidae, it's a marsupial, so the show must have been filmed in Australia.
		Also note that most of the animals in this lab are from the Australia region, EXCEPT for Didelphidae, Microbiotheriidae** and Caenolestidae.

		OK, now put on your game show hats.
		Your friend says "I was watching this program on the Family Microbiotheriidae that I think was in Australia.
		You are at a local park, where you see a big banner saying "family reunion." You wonder what family it is. Then you notice that everyone is wearing a family reunion t-shirt with the picture of a skull on it, representing common characteristics of their family.
