The cleavage stages of marsupial development are vary among groups and aspects of marsupial early development are not yet fully understood. Marsupials have a short gestation period—typically between 12 and 33 days, [ 38 ] but as low as 10 days in the case of the stripe-faced dunnart and as long as 38 days for the long-nosed potoroo .

Thylacoleo ("pouch lion") is an extinct genus of carnivorous marsupials that lived in Australia from the late Pliocene to the Late Pleistocene (until around 40,000 years ago), often known as marsupial lions. They were the largest and last members of the family Thylacoleonidae, occupying the position of apex predator within Australian ecosystems.
The practice of restoring traditional names to marsupial species has conserved this common name. Gould referred to the species as the freckled antechinus, [5] and it has also been known as the speckled marsupial mouse. The online edition of Mammal Species of the World gave the name Southern dibbler in 2009. [12]
