In HE, Madagascar has quite an odd fauna. But it still isn't as odd as it could reasonably be expected to be. For example, all its mammals, even the endemic lemurs, are ordinary placentals, even though 70 million years old strata have yielded gondwanatheres and one metatherian, possibly marsupial, tooth. Naturally, Spec is different. Placentals (namely p-lemurs and p-bats) have reached Madagascar, but gondwanatheres and marsupials remain important components of the fauna. The latter, described here, range from shrew-sized forms to animals resembling weasel trikes and the civets of HE, and include insectivores, omnivores and carnivores, ground-living, swimming and a few climbing forms.
