Most zoologists would be surprised to hear that, in a few features, lagomorphs resemble marsupials more than they do placentals, and it’s on the basis of these features that some workers have actually suggested that lagomorphs might be close kin of marsupials (albeit not necessarily members of Marsupialia or even Metatheria).    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2006-05-01] Reference

Marsupialia have been derived, were arboreal animals; and it is not difficult, I conceive, to see that, with such habits, it may have been highly advantageous to an animal to get rid of its young from the interior of its body at as early a period of development as possible, and to supply it with nourishment during the later periods through the lacteal glands, rather than through an imperfect form of placenta "(p. 655).    From Wordnik.com.  [Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology] Reference
