The only accessory sex glands marsupials possess are the prostate and bulbourethral glands. [32] Male marsupials have 1-3 pairs of bulbourethral glands. [33] There are no ampullae of vas deferens, seminal vesicles or coagulating glands. [34] [20] The prostate is proportionally larger in marsupials than in placental mammals. [8]
Metatheria is a mammalian clade that includes all mammals more closely related to marsupials than to placentals. First proposed by Thomas Henry Huxley in 1880, it is a more inclusive group than the marsupials; it contains all marsupials as well as many extinct non-marsupial relatives. It is one of two groups placed in the clade Theria alongside ...

Monotreme. Monotremes (/ ˈmɒnətriːmz /) are mammals of the order Monotremata. They are the only known group of living mammals that lay eggs, rather than bearing live young. The extant monotreme species are the platypus and the four species of echidnas. Monotremes are typified by structural differences in their brains, jaws, digestive tract ...
The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), [3] sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, [4] is a semiaquatic, egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. The platypus is the sole living representative or monotypic taxon of its family Ornithorhynchidae and genus Ornithorhynchus, though a number of related species ...
Teat. Part of a milking device that fits over the teats of a cow. A teat is the projection from the mammary glands of mammals from which milk flows or is ejected for the purpose of feeding young. [1][2][3] In many mammals, the teat projects from the udder. The number of teats varies by mammalian species and often corresponds to the average ...
Males mark their presence with secretions from scent glands located on their chests. Like other marsupials, koalas give birth to young known as joeys at a very early stage of development. They crawl into their mothers' pouches, where they live for their first six to seven months.
