The Brush-tailed Phascogale (Phascogale tapaotafa), also known as the Tuan, the Common Wambenger or the Black-tailed Phascogale, is a rat-sized arboreal carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae, characterized by a tuft of black silky hairs on the terminal portion of its tail.
Description
All male Brush-tailed Phascogales die before reaching one year of age, generally from stress related diseases brought about by the energy expended in a bout of frenzied mating. Females nest in hollow trees, bearing litters of 7 to 8 young which stay in the nest to the age of 5 months.
Distribution and habitat
The Brush-tailed Phascogale has a widespread but fragmented distribution throughout all states of Australia, excluding Tasmania. As a result of habitat destruction and predation by the Red Fox and feral Cat, they are believed to have disappeared from roughly half of their former range. The species is considered very vulnerable to localised extinction.
It is listed as a vulnerable species on Schedule 2 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995 (TSC Act, NSW). However the IUCN Red List lists it only as near threatened, and it does not have a EPBC Act status.
