What is a Marsupial Mole?
A marsupial mole is a mammal in the order Notoryctemorphia, and as the common name of this creature suggests, it is a marsupial. Scientists have identified two species of marsupial mole, the Northern and Southern marsupial mole, and both are considered endangered. You may have difficulty telling these species apart in the field, as they are extremely similar in physical appearance, but they have genetic differences which justify their classification into two species.
