Yes, that's correct! Marsupials are a unique group of mammals characterized by giving birth to relatively undeveloped young, which then continue to develop outside the womb, often in a pouch. Some well-known examples of marsupials include:
- Kangaroos: Native to Australia, they are known for their powerful hind legs, large feet, and ability to hop great distances.
- Koalas: Also native to Australia, koalas are known for their tree-dwelling lifestyle and diet of eucalyptus leaves.
- Opossums: Primarily found in the Americas, opossums are the only marsupials found north of Mexico. They are known for their ability to "play dead" as a defense mechanism.
Other examples of marsupials include wallabies, wombats, and Tasmanian devils, among others. Marsupials are fascinating creatures that play important roles in their ecosystems.
