This order includes marsupial cats, the Tasmanian devil and the numbat, as well as the Tasmanian wolf, also known as Thylacine, which became extinct at the end of the 1920s and which Tournai Natural History Museum and Vivarium houses in its rich collection. All the animals belonging to this order are native to Australia, New Guinea, Tasmania and a few small neighbouring islands. Some species in this group have the peculiarity of breeding only once in their lives, the males dying after only one breeding season. In general, Dasyuromorphia have long, pointed snouts, long tails, four toes on their forelegs and four to five toes on their hind legs, and polyprotodont dentition.
