Title: Fauna of New Guinea
Content: to Australian species, and most are insectivorous. The largest is the bronze quoll ("Dasyurus spartacus"), a rare quoll, first discovered in southern New Guinea in 1979. It reaches a snout to vent length of 36 centimetres (14.2 in). Fossils of larger marsupials have been found, including the carnivorous thylacine ("Thylacinus" sp.), however evidence of carnivorous megafauna, such as the marsupial lion ("Thylacoleo"), has not been found. The kangaroos, Macropodidae, of New Guinea are highly varied in their ecology and behaviour. Those closely related to the Australian kangaroos, such as the agile wallaby ("Macropus agilis"), inhabit the open grasslands of New

Title: Fauna of Australia
Content: both carnivorous and herbivorous marsupials. Herbivorous marsupials are classified in the order Diprotodontia, and further into the suborders Vombatiformes and Phalangerida. The Vombatiformes include the koala and the three species of wombat. One of Australia's best-known marsupials, the koala is an arboreal species that feeds on the leaves of various species of eucalyptus. Wombats, on the other hand, live on the ground and feed on grasses, sedges and roots. Wombats use their rodent-like front teeth and powerful claws to dig extensive burrow systems; they are mainly crepuscular and nocturnal. The Phalangerida includes six families and 26 species of possum and

Title: Kultarr
Content: Kultarr The kultarr ("Antechinomys laniger") (also called the "jerboa-marsupial") is a small insectivorous nocturnal marsupial inhabiting the arid interior of Australia. Preferred habitat includes stony deserts, shrubland, woodland, grassland and opens plains. The kultarr has a range of adaptations to help cope with Australia’s harsh arid environment including torpor similar to hibernation that helps conserve energy The species has declined across its former range since European settlement due to changes in land management practices and introduced predators. The kultarr is a small carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae with unique morphological features. It is nocturnal, hunting a variety of invertebrates

Title: Freycinet National Park
Content: grass, they are also known to gather around people. Another common species seen is the eastern quoll ("Dasyurus viverrinus"), a marsupial carnivore which was previously sighted on the mainland of Australia but is now only found in Tasmania. Also extinct on the mainland, the Tasmanian pademelon ("Thylogale billardierii") is still common in Freycinet National Park but they are rarely seen during the day, coming out at night to feed. Echidnas ("Tachyglossus aculeatus") can be seen during the day foraging through litter on forest floors, or among coastal vegetation, searching for ants or other food sources. The eastern pygmy possum ("Cercartetus

Title: Phalangeriformes
Content: tails. The smallest species, indeed the smallest diprotodont marsupial, is the Tasmanian pygmy possum, with an adult head-body length of and a weight of . The largest are the two species of bear cuscus which may exceed . Phalangeriformes species are typically nocturnal and at least partially arboreal. They inhabit most vegetated habitats, and several species have adjusted well to urban settings. Diets range from generalist herbivores or omnivores (the common brushtail possum) to specialist browsers of eucalyptus (greater glider), insectivores (mountain pygmy possum) and nectar-feeders (honey possum). About two-thirds of Australian marsupials belong to the order Diprotodontia, which is
