Saint Bathans mammal
The Saint Bathans Mammal is a currently unnamed extinct mammal from the Miocene of New Zealand. A notable member of the Saint Bathans Fauna, it is notable for being a late surviving "archaic" mammal species, neither a placental or marsupial, as well as for providing evidence that terrestrial mammals did in fact once live in Zealandia, in contrast with modern New Zealand, where bats are the only mammals in otherwise bird-dominated terrestrial faunas.
