marsupium
marsupium A pouch (from the Greek
marsupion, ‘pouch’) on the surface of the body of an adult animal in which its young are held securely. Marsupia occur in some invertebrates (e.g. some
Isopoda), some
Anura, but most notably in the
Marsupialia, which derive their name from the possession of marsupia, although not all species have them. In those female marsupials that do, and also in echidnas (see
TACHYGLOSSIDAE), the marsupium is a fold of skin, supported by
epipubic bones, containing the
mammary glands into which the eggs of echidnas and young of marsupials are placed.
