Best Answer

About 98% of marsupials are found in Australia.

The remainder of marsupial species are found in New Guinea, some islands of Indonesia, and many more are found in Central and South America. There is also one species of marsupial, the Opossum, in North America. Brushtail Possums and wallabies have also been introduced to New Zealand, but they are not native to the islands.

Many more than one type of marsupial lives outside Australia.

Opossums, shrew opossums, and the Monito Del Monte (total 102 species) live in the Americas.

On the island of New Guinea can be found sugar gliders and tree kangaroos.

How did marsupials get their name?

Marsupials essentially got their name from the fact that the proper name for a marsupial's pouch is marsupium. Most (not all) marsupials have such a pouch. Some marsupials have nothing more than a flap of skin which helps secure the developing joey in place.
