musky and rat-kangaroo
About two-thirds of Australian marsupials belong to the order Diprotodontia, which is split into three suborders: the Vombatiformes ( wombats and the koala, 4 species in total ); the large and diverse Phalangeriformes ( the possums and gliders ) and Macropodiformes ( kangaroos, potoroos, wallabies and the musky rat-kangaroo ).
The musky rat-kangaroo ( Hypsiprymnodon moschatus ) is a marsupial species found only in the rainforests of northeast Australia.
The musky rat-kangaroo is approximately 23cm long and has a hairless tail, and eats fallen fruit and large seeds, as well as small invertebrates.
