Dasyuromorphia
The
order
Dasyuromorphia
(meaning "hairy tail") comprises most of the Australian
carnivorous
marsupials
, including
quolls
,
dunnarts
, the
numbat
, the
Tasmanian devil
, and the
thylacine
. In Australia, the exceptions include the
omnivorous
bandicoots
(order Peramelemorphia) and the
marsupial moles
(which eat meat but are very different and are now accorded an order of their own, Notoryctemorphia). Numerous South American species of marsupials (orders
Didelphimorphia
,
Paucituberculata
, and
Microbiotheria
) are also carnivorous.
