Marsupials are mammals which give birth to poorly developed embryos. The generally very small offspring is actually connected to the mother's teat in the beginning of living in their mother's pouch. Until they strengthen, grow fur and are allowed to live outside the pouch's protection they are being fed on their mother's milk in there.
In Tasmania a rich diversity of marsupials exist, examples of which include the kangaroo, koala, possum, Tasmanian Devil, and wallaby. The Tasmanian Tiger who is believed to be extinct was also a marsupial. Tasmania's separation from the mainland, diverse landscape and temperate climate has resulted in many species of plant and animal life prospering in the state. Many of these species are only found in Tasmania.
Marsupial can be predominantly be found in Australia where they live in various areas. The rooms they live in here, were taken over by mammels on other continents.
