Just a quikie, over here (UK) the BBC are showing a documentary series
on the natural history of Australia. On last night's program a species
of bat was mentioned. Questions: a) are Australian bats placental or
marsupial? b) if placental, are there any other indigenous placental
mammals in Australia ( if indeed bats are indigenous ) c) are there any
species of flying marsupials ( i.e. not gliding ) elsewhere in the world?

Hope someone can help
