Numbat isn't likely because it isn't even kept in captivity in Australia. Bilby is possible but not likely. Quokka is the most likely as it's already in Japan and Europe

Numbat have been kept and bred in Perth Zoo for decades, so they are certainly around but unlikely to be exported.
A bilby import to Europe has been on the cards for about a decade now, but hasn't happened yet for various reasons. There is a possible scenario that once a European population is established that as US population becomes possible.
Quokka could already be imported now if you can find enough available animals and a willing Australian zoo...
These kind of challenges are what made some parts of the private trade miserable and make people believe it's that easy to own a personal managerieOh also dusky pademelon I've seen them all over European zoos but awhile ago an Aquarium in California(aquarium of the pacific)had some but on ZTL it's a former species. But then I was watching A YouTuber "blakes Exotic animal ranch" based out of Florida and on the episode spin wheel and I'll buy the animal it lands on was emu so when he went to the place where the emu were for sale obviously private ranch the guy selling emus had albino Eastern grey kangaroo. And believe it or not dusky pademeloni linked it down below skip to about 4 minutes
Dusky Pademelon
You mean Bennett's and Lumholtz', right? Otherwise, they'd all be under control of the Indonesian and Papua New Guinean governments.We know Echidnas are in private ownership and possibly the dusky pademelon. It would not shock me if someone off the maps has a tree kangaroo or heck even a koala Although I think Australian government has those under control

Nonetheless, I also believe no tree-kangaroos are in private hands.
If anyone here could make a full list of all marsupials kept Outside Australia like a N.A and E.U List Yes i know about the North American one I want one about everything so it can be my guilty pleasureok just joking to be informative and keep track of The species outside AUS if you like include monotremes as bonus
