List of monotremes and marsupials

{{Short description|none}}

The class Mammalia (mammals) is divided into two subclasses based on reproductive techniques: egg-laying mammals (yinotherians or monotremes - see also Australosphenida), and mammals which give live birth (therians). The latter subclass is divided into two infraclasses: pouched mammals (metatherians or marsupials), and placental mammals (eutherians, for which see List of placental mammals). Classification updated from Wilson and Reeder's "Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference" using the "Planet Mammifères" website.{{cite web|last1=Boudet Ch.|title=Planet' Mammiferes|url=http://www.planet-mammiferes.org/drupal/en/node/20|website=Planet' Mammiferes|accessdate=2016-04-17 |version=4.1 of 2013/12/23}}
