Most living carnivorous marsupials lead a secretive and solitary existence. From tiny insect eaters to the

formidable Tasmanian Devil, Secret Lives of Carnivorous Marsupials offers rare insight into the history and

habits of these creatures - from their discovery by intrepid explorers and scientists to their unique life cycles

and incredible ways of hunting prey.

Secret Lives of Carnivorous Marsupials contains a guide to the world's 136 living species of carnivorous

marsupials and is packed with never-before-seen photos. Biogeography, relationships and conservation are

also covered in detail. Readers are taken on a journey through remote Australia, the Americas and dark,

mysterious New Guinea - some of the last truly wild places on Earth. The book describes frenzied mating

sessions, minuscule mammals that catch prey far larger than themselves, and extinct predators including

marsupial lions, wolves and even sabre-toothed kangaroos.
