The mulgara is a small carnivorous marsupial from the deserts of central and Western Australia. It has several adaptations that enable it to survive in the desert. * The mulgara needs no water apart from that which it obtains from its prey. * To shelter from the heat of the day, mulgara dig burrows in the desert sand. They are nocturnal, so they only come out at night, when it is cooler. * Mulgara have sand coloured fur, so they are camouflaged from predators. * They are social creatures, often digging burrows near each other, so they do not have to search far for a mate.
