Very few marsupials do not have pouches. In Australia, these include the numbat and the red-tailed phascogale. In North America, some species of opossum (not related to the possum) do not have pouches.

Neither the numbat nor the Brown antechinus has a pouch.

The swamp antechinus develops just a flap of skin for a pouch during breeding season. The kultarr and kowari also have just a fold of skin.

The numbat does not have a pouch.

The small, mouse-like antechinus does not have a fully developed pouch, but just a loose flap of skin on its abdomen.

It is not known why some marsupials do not have pouches. The young joeys are still born undeveloped, and have to cling to the mother's underside, secured in place only by the fact that the teat has swollen in tbeir mouth.
