Parts and their functions
- Wolf ↔ Tasmanian wolf (भेड़िया ↔ तस्मानियन वुल्फ़) — The placental wolf and the marsupial tasmanian wolf live in similar habitats, so they evolved a similar look — convergent evolution.
- Bobcat ↔ Tasmanian tiger cat (बॉबकैट ↔ तस्मानियन टाइगर कैट) — The placental bobcat and the marsupial tasmanian tiger cat live in similar habitats, so they evolved a similar look — convergent evolution.
- Flying squirrel ↔ Flying phalanger (उड़न गिलहरी ↔ फ़्लाइंग फ़लैंजर) — The placental flying squirrel and the marsupial flying phalanger live in similar habitats, so they evolved a similar look — convergent evolution.
- Lemur ↔ Spotted cuscus (लीमर ↔ स्पॉटेड कसकस) — The placental lemur and the marsupial spotted cuscus live in similar habitats, so they evolved a similar look — convergent evolution.
- Mouse ↔ Marsupial mouse (चुहिया ↔ मार्सुपियल चुहिया) — The placental mouse and the marsupial marsupial mouse live in similar habitats, so they evolved a similar look — convergent evolution.
- Anteater ↔ Numbat (anteater) (चींटीखोर ↔ नम्बैट (चींटीखोर)) — The placental anteater and the marsupial numbat live in similar habitats, so they evolved a similar look — convergent evolution.
- Mole ↔ Marsupial mole (छछूँदर ↔ मार्सुपियल छछूँदर) — The placental mole and the marsupial marsupial mole live in similar habitats, so they evolved a similar look — convergent evolution.
