Marsupials is an infraclass o mammals that bide maistly in the Soothren Hemisphere. A distinctive characteristic, common tae maist species, is that the young are carried in a pouch. Kenspeckle marsupials include kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, possums, opossums, wombats an the Tasmainien deil. Less well-kent marsupials include the numbat, bandicoots, bettongs, bilbies, quolls an the quokka.

Marsupials represent the clade oreeginatin wi the last common ancestor o extant metatherians. Lik ither mammals in the Metatheria, thay are characterized bi givin birth tae relatively undeveloped young, often residing in a pouch wi the mither for a certain time efter birth.
