An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Marsupials represent the clade originating with the last common ancestor of extant metatherians. Like other mammals in the Metatheria, they are characterized by giving birth to relatively undeveloped young, often residing in a pouch with the mother for a certain time after birth. Close to 70% of the 334 extant species occur in Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands, with the remaining 100 found in the Americas, primarily in South America, but with 13 in Central America, and one in North America north of Mexico.

  • Although no certain instances of a real-world Marsupial have been recorded on Titan, a number of Fighting Fantasy creatures are sufficiently similar to Marsupials for them to be provisionally classified as such: * Hopper * Jib-Jib * Thrasher Note that although Kangaroo is mentioned in Armies of Death, this appears to be nothing more than a meta-reference to the reader's real-world knowledge.
  • Marsupials were a subgroup of mammals whose members were born one at a time incompletely developed and were typically carried and nursed in a pouch on the mother's belly. Although they were in fact reptomammals, the wampas of Hoth could be considered marsupials in terms of their mating process, as their cubs were developed within their mothers' pouches for a period of roughly three months. Similarly, the reptilian Hutts were normally nourished in a brood pouch for the first fifty years of their life.
  • Marsupial is the classification for animals that can allow their babies on a bag under their chest until they grow up. The only member of it is the Kangaroo.
  • Marsupial was the term for a group of animal species, linked together in systematic biology. Altarian marsupials and kangaroos were examples of marsupials. The planet Archer IV had several nocturnal marsupials living on it in 2151. (ENT: "Strange New World") A type of marsupials, living on a planet in 2153, produced saliva which served as a natural anticoagulant. (ENT: "Bounty")
