What is a dunnart?
A dunnart is a small, mouse-sized, carnivorous marsupial found mainly in Australia, with a species also in New Guinea. There are about 19 species of dunnart, with their names often reflecting the locality from which they come, such as the Julia Creek dunnart, Kangaroo island dunnart and Carpentaria dunnart, although the fat-tailed dunnart is an exception to this. Dunnarts on the whole are listed as either endangered or vulnerable. They live for up to 3 years in the wild and 4 years in captivity.

The common dunnart, one of several varieties of dunnarts in Australia, lives in dry bushland and the mallee districts of northwestern Victoria. The Julia Creek dunnart, an even rarer marsupial, is restricted entirely to Mitchell Grass Downs of northwestern Queensland, within a 100km radius of Julia Creek. There is also the endangered Kangaroo Island dunnart, found only on Kangaroo island off the southern coast of South Australia. The Sandhill dunnart is found in the dry, open woodland of eastern Eyre Peninsula.
