Brush-tailed Phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa) or Tuan - Kangaroo Ground, Victoria, Australia.
Species status: Threatened. |
|||||||
| The Brush-tailed Phascogale is a shy, cryptic species that occurs in low densities in Eastern Australia. For an animal of its size, the Tuan forages over very large home ranges and only small populations can exist in quite large areas. Males die at the end of their first breeding season (aged 11-12 months). Females generally die after weaning their young and few survive to breed in a second season. | |||||||
