Diprotodontia

The order Diprotodontia is a fascinating group of marsupials that includes some of the most iconic Australian wildlife, such as kangaroos, wallabies, possums, and koalas. Their distinctive dental structure, with two large incisors in the lower jaw that grow continuously, sets them apart from other animals. They are essential herbivores and seed dispersers in their ecosystems, found throughout Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands. However, many diprotodont species face severe threats from habitat loss, climate change, and hunting. We must immediately protect these unique and valuable animals and their habitats.
