There are seventy-two extant dasyuromorphs, species in Dasyuromorphia, an order of mammals comprising most of the Australian carnivorous marsupials. Members include quolls, dunnarts, the numbat, the Tasmanian devil (example pictured), and the thylacine. They are found in Australia and New Guinea, generally in forests, shrublands, and grasslands, but also inland wetlands, deserts, and rocky areas. The seventy-two extant species of Dasyuromorphia are divided into two families: Dasyuridae, containing seventy-one species divided between the thirteen genera in the subfamily Dasyurinae and the four genera in the subfamily Sminthopsinae; and Myrmecobiidae, containing the numbat. There is additionally the family Thylacinidae, containing the extinct thylacine. (Full list...)
