Passage

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow

Nobody knew kangaroos existed until about 200 years ago. Australian explorers and settlers saw them then for the first time. The kangaroo, of course, has a pouch, and in Australia, many mammals have pouches. Nobody except the Aboriginal people knew kangaroos existed until about 200 years ago. The first Australian explorers and settlers saw them then for the first time. The kangaroo, of course, has a pouch, and in Australia many mammals have pouches. Australia and its neighbouring island are where most of the pouched animals have been found. Pouched animals form the order of mammals called “the marsupials” . This name comes from the Latin word marsupium, which means “pouch” .

The first mammals appeared more than 100,000, 000 years ago, during the Age of Dinosaurs. Some of these were marsupial, and some were “placental” . A placental mammal supplies food to the unborn young within the mother՚s body. In marsupial mammals, the pouch serves this purpose. The young are born very tiny and develop in the mother՚s pouch.

When the earth՚s climate changed, the dinosaurs died out. The mammals multiplied and developed in many ways. They became the ruling animals of the earth. The placental mammals were more successful than the marsupials. Their brains were superior, and it was better for the young to develop inside the mother՚s body than in a pouch.

In most parts of the world the marsupials disappeared. They could not compete for living places with the other mammals. However, this did not happen in Australia and South America. Scientists believe that Australia was once linked to South-Eastern Asia. So, marsupials moved to Australia at a time when there were no advanced placental mammals there. They did not have any competition, so they evolved and flourished in many forms.
