Sugar Gliders Marsupials (General Information) Marsupials have a small, relatively simple brain compared with that of placental mammals. The braincase is generally narrow. This does not mean that they are slow witted or lethargic. Even the sleepy-eyed koala can jump from tree to tree, and the Tasmanian devil is a big challenge for any other animal, no matter the size. Some of the other adaptations include the New World opossums, which have a clawless, opposable hallux (the big toe) on the hind foot which they use much like a thumb to gain a foothold in the trees, since they are arboreal in habit. The South American water opossum has developed webbed feet. The bandicoots of Australia are highly adapted to fast running, so the digits of their hind feet are greatly reduced, except for one enlarged toe which has somewhat the same effect as a horse's hoof. Burrowing and gliding marsupials have likewise developed modified limbs. All in all, marsupials thrive by adapting to their different environments well. We usually associate marsupials with Australia, where, indeed, the order displays its famous diversity of species. Of the 260-280 living species, 170 are native to Australia or the adjacent islands of Tasmania, New Zealand, New Guinea and the smaller ones. The remaining 51 species are the few living descendants of a once extensive marsupial group in the Americas. They are now relatively unobtrusive, such as the Virginia opossum (the only true "opossum") and similar forms like the tiny mouseopossums or ratopossums, and are all greatly overshadowed by the placental mammals of North and South America.

Sugar Glider Petaurus breviceps NATURAL HISTORY click on thumbnail to enlarge The Sugar Glider ( Petaurus breviceps ) is a gliding possum from the genus Petaurus , belonging to the family Petauroidea. Petaurus breviceps The diet of the Sugar Glider in the wild primarily consists of pollen, nectar, insects and sap. Sugar Gliders are locally common where tree hollows are available and they can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. In extreme conditions they can conserve their energy by huddling together with others. CAPTIVE HUSBANDRY Cages can be placed inside or outside. If kept inside, regular cleaning will be necessary to avoid unacceptable odours (usually scent marking by the dominant males). Cages for keeping two or three Sugar Gliders can be as small as 1800 mm x 900 mm x 1800 mm. The standard 12 mm square weld mesh (light gauge is strong enough) is recommended. Young gliders can squeeze through 2.5 cm wire mesh without any trouble.

Elementary Themes The Kangaroo Marsupials General Resources: Kangaroos Gray Kangaroos Red Kangaroos ... Other Australian Animals General Resources on Marsupials Everything You Always Wanted to Know About K A N G A R O O S When the Australian continental plate separated from Antarctica and began drifting north 64 to 136 million years ago, only its higher elevations protruded above the ocean, comprising a patchwork of isolated tropical islands. As their climate cooled and dried, and ocean levels fell, they formed a continent blanketed by large patches of grasslands. Marsupial Printouts Marsupials (Megatheria) are pouched mammals whose babies are born in a very undeveloped state; the young then attach themselves to their mother's nipple. Many marsupials have a pouch that encloses the young. Kangaroo Printout The Kangaroo is a common marsupial from the islands of Australia and New Guinea. There are 47 species of "roos." Kangaroos Kangaroo is the common name for any of 52 species of marsupial animals constituting the family Macropodidae, found in Australia and neighboring islands. Animal Postcards Kangaroo Hi, I'm Rosie a female Red Kangaroo. Even though I'm a Red Kangaroo my fur is a bluish colour - so some people call me a 'blue flier'. My husband 'Boomer' is red.

Elementary Themes Koalas General Information Koala Physiology Habitat Diet ... Other Australian Animals General Information History of the Koala T here were once several different kinds of koala all but one of which had died out. The earliest known member of the koala family was a browser, which lived 15 millions years ago. Evidence of a 'giant' koala, twice the size of its modern descendant, exists in fossils dating back more than 40,000 years. The Australian Koala Page You may think a Koala is a bear, but it isn't. In fact the Koala has no relation to a bear. It is a distant cousin to the Wombat and both the Koala and the Wombat have fossil history over 15 million years. The Koala is Australia's most popular and most loved marsupial mammal. How Long Does a Koala Live? Koalas, together with wombats, their closest relatives, belong to the super-family of Vombatoidea. It is believed that some 25 million years ago, they shared a common ancestor. Even today, despite the differences in habits and structure, koalas and wombats have many common anatomical features, pointing to a shared past. Koalas The koala is a small bear-like, tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupial which averages about 9kg (20lb) in weight. It's fur is thick and usually ash grey with a tinge of brown in places.

Comparison of Digestive System Adaptations of Placental Ruminants and the Herbivorous Marsupials of Australia By Amanda Kreuder Biomes of Australia April 14, 2004 Abstract The marsupial animal species that have evolved on the isolated continent of Australia are unique compared to the rest of the animal kingdom in many ways due to the harsh and distinctive environment found on the continent. The major area of marsupial biology that distinguishes them from all other eutherian mammals is their mode of reproduction. However, it can be said that there are many other areas in which unique differences can be seen between marsupials and eutherian mammals; one such area of adaptation is in the anatomy and physiology of digestion, which distinguishes them from many other similar animals worldwide. The foregut fermenters, such as kangaroos and wallabies, evolved in regions of poor forage quality to be able to extract the most nutrients out of the poorest feeds. Fermentation in the foregut has many advantages over hindgut fermentation, which is seen in marsupials such as the koalas and wombats. The anatomy and physiology of the digestive tracts of both types of fermenters, however, are uniquely suited to their individual modes of nutrition.
