Great News! Scientists Discover Two New Marsupial Species in Australia

However, scientists in Australia have identified two new mammals in a country known for its unique fauna – and both are cousin species of the greater glider, a marsupial that is known for gliding from tree to tree and is known for its expressive eyes, large ears, and long furry tails.

During the dry season, tick infestations are at their worst, sometimes killing young deer. People Share Mindblowing Pairs Of Animals That Look Similar But Are Genetically Incompatible.
