Marsupial moles, the Notoryctidae /noʊtəˈrɪktɪdiː/, are highly specialized marsupial mammals, known from two species found at the Australian interior. * Notoryctes typhlops (southern marsupial mole, known as the itjaritjari by the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people in Central Australia). * Notoryctes caurinus (northern marsupial mole, also known as the kakarratul) Notoryctids are small, fossorial mammals that anatomically converge on other fossorial (and distantly related) mammals, such as living golden moles (Chrysochloridae) and extinct epoicotheres (Pholidota).
