Welcome to my site!
Let's celebrate 65 years after the marsupilami's first appearance into the comics on Jan 31st 1952.
We found out that the best known marsupilami species had become widespread in South America, but now rarer in its native African land.
Happy 65th anniversary for the big break into pop culture!

What's a marsupilami community?
Welcome!
Marsupilamis are a fictional and mythical group of African monotremes. The best known member of this 7-strong family is the lesser marsupilami, which lives in many habitats from jungle to city and may have been introduced to South America in colonial times.
There are myths about marsupilamis, these are
1. Marsupilamis are monogamous or solitary: sometimes.
2. They are prone to laughter: no they ain't, as the Brazilian Portuguese intro for Disney's tv show fad proved.
3. The adult male is the lead: huh, this is not a sensual answer? I suggestively proved that a large middle aged female is the actual lead of a tangle, therefore she's the grand alpha poobah.
4. They swing through branches with tails, hang on vines, or swim: it ain't so in My Friend Marsupilami's first episode, "First Encounter"! It proved that a marsupilami can surf through the trees like Disney's Tarzan! This is possibly also true of the tangle's lead, who brachiates with arms.
What's a marsupilami community?
A marsupilami community is called a tangle, because a crowd of them would cram each other while bouncing through the jungle in a stampede.
There are many facts that even the most serious of fans can't talk about.
1. Marsupilamis are loyal neighbours but can be dangerous when provoked: yes, I saw that in my dreams last week! It is more likely that you'll be ripped in your face by a tangle of teenaged individuals who snarl at you, than by an out-of-work adult male or a big old female who tried to find a snack.
2. An alpha female is called a poobah: here she is! Myth tells that older males often beat their chests and can yell when excited, angry or nervous. But it ain't so for the reality, as the furry poobah proves that she can both yell and chest beat because she is their leader! The offspring are usually called pipsqueaks, because of their little size and are young in age.
3. They are cool at mimicry and vocabulary, but awkward in speech: this is the one thing that marsupilamis can do!
