What is a marsupial carnivore?
Quick Answer
A marsupial carnivore is a meat-eating marsupial. Many are small insect-eaters, while others are larger predators or scavengers.
The Full Story
Marsupial carnivores range from tiny insect-feeders to larger hunting species. In Australia, the numbat specializes in termites, while the Tasmanian devil is a famous scavenger and predator. Australia also once had the thylacine, a now-extinct carnivorous marsupial that resembled a striped dog. These animals show that marsupials filled many of the same ecological roles as placental mammals elsewhere.
