Best Answer

Some marsupials are carnivores.

Whilst many marsupials come under the heading of herbivores, e.g. kangaroos, wombats, wallabies or omnivores e.g. possums, bilbies, bandicoots, etc., there is a group of carnivorous marsupials known as the dasyurids.This group includes the Tasmanian devil, quoll, planigale and the now-extinct Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger.
