Marsupial mole

Howe, D. 1975. Observations on the behaviour of a captive marsupial mole (Notoryctes typhlops). Aust. Mammal., 7,361-365. 

It is remarkable to Conway Morris, for instance, that more than a dozen mole-like burrowing (fossorial) animals from around the world exhibit closely comparable bodily features, even though they belong to entirely different species (2003, pp. 139 4). Tlie rapacious teeth of some predatory marsupials are nearly identical in structure to those of certain placental animals, although their respective evolutionary courses unfolded oceans apart. In species that are clearly unrelated.
