What species is in the bottom right? I can't read the sign. Perhaps a tree kangaroo?

@amur leopard I think it’s a koala

But the middle right skeleton is a koala and the skull is a different shape. I'm really stuck on it and I can't figure it out.

@amur leopard I think the sign says tree kangaroo sp. but it’s really hard to read

Thanks a lot! Very useful! I'm making a species list of all the mammal species held on-show in the Smithsonian and I will post it later tonight.

@amur leopard - which skeleton are you meaning? The only one at "bottom right" is the Koala. If you mean bottom-left then it is an American Opossum (a Virginia Opossum would seem most likely).

Oh no. I have to return to pre-school
Sorry for the confusion, I only just realised the mistake - sorry @pangolin12 my fault entirely
When I thought of marsupials I just automatically thought of Australasia. Thanks for the info though, much appreciated.
