Breathing
Marsupials, like us, breathe air. When they breathe their muscles expand and shrink to make air movement through the body. Breathing also helps keep the blood move through the body.

Marsupials
Are They Important to us?
Marsupials are important for gene research. Instead of testing on humans, we can look at marsupials to gather info. This is so we do not have to operate on humans, but can still get similar results. Some live here in America, so they are easy to get also. Some are hunted and used for food. That is why they are important to us.

How do they support their shape? Do they have a skeleton?
Marsupials do have a skeleton that supports its shape. They have a large face area. They also have a brain casing that is very small. The brain casing is small because of the small brains they have. Large foot bones are use for them to jump and to climb. For their jaw bone it is only made up of one bone.

How do these animals digest their food? Do they have a complete digestive system?
Marsupials have a complete digestive system. Their system is able to deal with toxic compounds of some food. Like for Koala's they can stand the toxic in leaves.

Awesome Stuff
Marsupials are born in a very young stage. They can range in size from 7ft tall and 200lbs to 8 inches tall and 12 oz. At a young age, they are cared for and nursed in the pouch of their mother. The opossum is immune to snake venom. Their fur and giving live birth makes them different from all other animals.

What Are They?
Opossum- live in forests of South and North America. There are 70 different types.
Kangaroo- live in dry deserts of Australia.
Koala Bear- live in humid wet forests of Australia and parts of China.
*All have pouches to nurture young

Excretory (Waste) System
Marsupials have a well developed system that gets rid of waste. Their liver transforms waste into urea and the kidneys get rid of it from the blood and body. Then, it gets sent out when a person goes the bathroom. This keeps the body clean of poisons and waste. Thus, the animal can live a healthy life

How are
these animals important to
the environment?
Marsupials are very important to the environment. First, they keep the soil aired. Second, they also keep the amount of insects and pest down. They also feed other animals.

What type of circulatory system do these animals have?
Marsupial's circulatory system is the same as other mammal's circulatory system. They have a complete circulatory system. They have a heart that has four chambers. They also have arties and veins. They also have a pulmonary and a systemic circuit.

What is their scientific name?
There are almost 260 different types of Marsupials. Most of them can be put into one of six groups. The opossums are the only ones that live in North America. The kangaroos and wallabies live in Australia. There are also 3 other groups that live in Australia.

What is a marsupial's habitat like?
They live in all types of forest and woodlands. At first Marsupials all came from a large land mass called Gondwanaland. Gondwanaland was when Australia, South America and Africa were combined into one big continent. They live in Rainforests, Moss forests, Mangrove forests, tropical and temperate forests.

What are Marsupials nervous systems like?
Marsupial's nervous system is very closely related to a human's nervous system. They have a neocrox, which is a brain cavity that is specific only to mammals. They also have a central nervous system. They have a central spinal cord that runs all the way down there back. Nerves break off from the spinal cord and are spread throughout the body.

How do marsupials reproduce?
Most marsupial young are born after only 13 days in their mother's womb. They are born poorly developed and are normally only 2 inches long. The baby then crawls up the mother's stomach and into her pouch to finish developing. The baby is usually fully developed after 60 days and then in the next 30-40 days the baby leaves the pouch.

What is special about the Mammalian Body Plan?
Mammals are the only group of animals that have live births. They are covered in fur. Also they have a full digestive system. They also have a full circulatory system. They are warm blooded.
