Persecuting Marsupials

Marsupials are usually known because of their adorable and hugable faces, at least some of them. They are often found in Australia and the surrounding islands. However we can also see them in South America and in Madagascar. Marsupials are slightly weird mammals, you'll see.

There are many species in the marsupial family. I´m going to tell you about the types that exist in the place with most marsupials over the world, Australia, just for you to see that not only koalas and kangaroos live there. We can find four groups of marsupials. The first is the group of the kangaroos and its derivatives (Macropodidae), in second place is a kind of opossum group, although not similar to the ones in North America (Diprodontia). Thirdly the group that includes little insect eaters, the cool group (Dasyuridae) . And finally, to end with Australian marsupial groups, the last that includes the Bandictus (Paramelidae).

Now I´m going to tell you about my favorite marsupial, the koala, I know that the kangaroo is also great but koalas can sleep for 20 hours, who doesn't want to be a koala? The koala is a herbivore mammal from Australia. Koalas are also called Koala bear, but they have nothing in relation with bears, I don´t know if I have mention that they are marsupials. The koala is not a endangered specie although recently, the population has highly decreased. This is due to the destruction of their habitat, nothing new. The construction of roads and diseases are ending the lives of these furry sleepyheads.
