Out of respect, though, and since I can't find a better reason for excluding them than that they aren't as "nifty," they're added. Thanks for the suggestions! <br /> <br />And anyway--it isn't placental, since there are a few birds, reptiles, a fish or two, and yes, a marsupial on this list already. Some of my best friends are non-placental. No, really.
