Answer:

Egg-laying mammals and pouched mammals only occur in Australia. This restricted distribution can be explained as follows :

Australia continent separated from the mainland of Asia during the Meozoic era, before placental mammals evolved. Placental mammals, being more adapted, eliminated the egg laying mammals and majority of mammals in other areas of the world. The primitive mammals of Australia survived as placental mammals could not reach Australia due to lack of land route. These primitive mammals have flourished and evolved along different lines through the divergent evolution in Australia
