marsupials
the young marsupials is born at a very early stage of develop ment _ only eight days after conception in the american opossum . it is still very small that of a five _ foot _ high kangaroo being only one nich long .even at this stage its forelimbs are developed so that it can crawl up the mothers belly to the pouch .
although australia is the main home of the marsupials today. they are known from early tertiary deposits in europe and the american continents . these early marsupials seem to have been very like the living opossums which are arboreal < omnivorous or insectivorous .
