Animal Name Game!

[AstusAleator]

The name game in the General Forum is no fun. Lets make a name-game focused on just Kingdom Animalia!

Rules:
guesses/questions may be stated in the form of yes/no or either/or (dichotomous).
The answer must be an extant animal, and the correct answer is in the form of genus and species.
The winner comes up with the next animal, unless they defer it to someone else.



I'll start. I'll give you one hint:
It's a marsupial (that's a HUGE hint)

[Beetle]

Nice!

Does it lives stricktly on Australian mainland?

Bah! Another harsh thing! You even don't need to say "no fun" because the idea of your game is different from the one I made

[AstusAleator]

No offense Stein, I just wasn't very interested in leukocytes or Schwann Cells. I figure, the people that post in Zoo and Botany forums might have more fun with a more specific game


And no, it is not strictly on Australian mainland

[WolverSyr]

Does it have a prehensile tail?

[kjle]

Is it a land dwelling animal, as opposed to tree?

[nugget]

this game i wanna playyyy i want the answers first tho

[AstusAleator]

Yes it has a prehensile tail

It is mainly ground-dwelling

[nugget]

Invertebrate?

[AstusAleator]

Is there such a thing as an invertebrate marsupial? No, it's not an invertebrate.

[nugget]

oh dear looool i missed that little part where u gave that away!!!

ok so does it have small ears?

[kjle]

When can we guess the animal?
