The word Marsupial conjures up pictures of well known animals such as the koala , wombat and the Tasmanian devil, but not all marsupials are found in the Australian region. We travel from South America to New Guinea to reveal the wide variety of marsupials and their habitats. From water dwelling opossums to kangaroos that climb trees and sugar gliders that launch themselves through the air. Living marsupials fall into 4 major natural groups: the South American opossums, the carnivorous Australian marsupials, the omnivorous bandicoots and the basically herbivorous possums & kangaroos.
