Considering a non-traditional #pet? We’ve got dozens of #SugarGliders at our #Boston Adoption Center looking for loving new homes! They’re nocturnal #marsupials with specific dietary needs that like to live in pairs or groups. Stop by open hours Tue-Sun noon-3pm to make one (or some) of these special friends part of your family!
"'What we could clearly show is the marsupial way of developing is the one that's changed the most from the ancestor of marsupials and placentals,' says Anjali."
I learned something! I had no idea that wallabies can sit on their tails. It's one of the things that distinguishes them from kangaroos. This guy had lunch outside our kitchen (not provided by us) then hopped into the forest to sit & chill. #Wallaby#Macropods#Marsupials#Wildlife#Nature#Tasmania#TasmanianForest
"Scientists have identified one of Australia’s first long-distance walkers: a 250kg marsupial with “heeled hands” that roamed across the continent’s arid interior 3.5 million years ago.
Meet our marsupial gardening crew. Every night, 30 - 100 pademelons and a few wallabies look after the lawns. They take care of mowing, edging and fertilising.
We don't see possums every night, but there's often 1 - 6 of them. They take care of eating all fruit from the fruit trees and destroying any part of the vegetable garden that isn't fully enclosed so it's lucky they're cute.
