Fauna of New Guinea four species of echidnas in two genera: the short-beaked echidna ("Tachyglossus aculeatus"), the eastern long-beaked echidna ("Zaglossus bartoni"), the western long-beaked echidna ("Zaglossus bruijni") and Sir David's long-beaked echidna ("Zaglossus attenboroughi"). No living "Zaglossus" have been seen in Australia, in recent years, and this genus may now be endemic to New Guinea, although a specimen in the natural history museum was collected from the Kimberley region in the early 20th century and fossils have been found in Australia. The native mammal fauna of New Guinea lacks large predators. The carnivorous marsupials, Dasyuromorphia, of New Guinea are all small in comparison
