Description
Marsupilami is a fictional comic book species created by André Franquin, first published on 31 January, 1952 in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Spirou. It is a rare, possibly endangered species, which exists in the sub-country of Palombia, which is also known as the Amazonas territory of Brazil, South America.
The marsupilami is a black-spotted yellow leopard-like creature with dog-like ears. Male marsupilamis have an incredibly long, strong, flexible, prehensile tail, used for almost any task. Female marsupilamis have a much shorter tail, but still long compared to real animals. Both the male and female are able to use their tail as a weapon, by tightening the end into a fist and the remainder of the tail into a springlike spiral for maximal force. The name of the animal was intended to mean "marsupial friend", even though it is technically a monotreme.
