Secret lives of carnivorous marsupials / Andrew Baker and Chris Dickman.

520 |a There are about 128 living species of carnivorous marsupial mammals. They range in size from tiny insect-eating planigales - at just a few grams some of the world's smallest mammals - to the formidable Tasmanian Devil, a scavenging flesh-lover with the most powerful, bone-crushing jaws of any mammal. This book offers rare insight into the lives of these mysterious mammals: where they are found, what they eat, their behaviours, and the ways we can save them from extinction, at a time of unprecedented global mammal species loss.
