minus-squareMonkderVierte@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·13 天前 Wombats are the tanks of the marsupial world. Not armadillo?
minus-squareSuperApples@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·13 天前Being that they’re from the Americas, I doubt Armadillos are marsupial. Probably closer relation to a sloth than a platypus.
minus-squarefakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·13 天前While there are actually several new world marsupials, I’m fairly certain that they’re all opossums.
minus-squareSuperApples@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 天前 opossums Oh, interesting! I never realised Opossums are actually marsupials. I don’t think I’ll start feeding wild ones apple slices and petting them like we do brushtail possums, though. I just came across this chunky Indonesian boy on wikipedia.
