This large and diverse suborder includes kangaroos, wallabies, quokkas, possums, gliding possum-like marsupials and others. The much smaller suborder Vombatiformes encompasses only the koalas and wombats. This suborder is not longer considered to accurately describe the diversity in Diprotodonta and is therefore no longer used.
