There are only two extant species: * ''[[Notoryctes]] typhlops'' (Southern Marsupial Mole) * ''Notoryctes caurinus'' (Northern Marsupial Mole) == Description == The two species of marsupial moles are rare and not well understood burrowing [[mammal]]s of the [[desert]]s of [[Western Australia]]. Marsupial moles spend most of their time underground, coming to the surface only occasionally, probably mostly after it rains. They are blind, their eyes having become reduced to [[Vestigial organ|vestigial]] lenses under the skin, and they have no external ears, just a pair of tiny holes hidden under thick hair. They do not dig permanent burrows, filling the tunnel in behind them as they move. {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Marsupials of Australia]]
