Marsupials are most famous for their means of birth. Rather than the mother carrying the offspring for full term, marsupials give birth to a very tiny baby early in the pregnancy. The baby crawls into a pouch or fold of skin where the tiny baby nurses until it is mature enough to survive on its own. Marsupials are native to North America, South America, and Australia.
