This is an actual answer IMO. But I don't think most people actually just know this stuff. Someone asking a question like that in casual conversation probably could use an explanation like this.
I dunno, I think "marsupials = pouches" (and bears = no pouches) is pretty much the first (and possibly only) fact that the vast majority of people who've previously heard the word marsupial would be able to produce.
I'd imagine this knowledge is so common that the "college honor student" in the OP meme seems way over the top. Like how many 10 year olds haven't heard of kangaroos and their pouches?
