Marsupials
Marsupials
Marsupials are mammals along with placentals and monotremes. They are common in Australia but probably originated in South America then spread to Australia across the Antarctic land bridge.
Marsupials are known for carrying their young in a pouch and include macropods, like kangaroos and wallabies, bandicoots, possums and gliders.
We have identified many species found at Istari.
