Kowari Dasyuroides byrnei
The Kowari, also called Brush-tailed Marsupial Rat, is a nocturnal marsupial native to deserts of
east-central Australia.
Although it looks like a rat with a thick tail ending in a black brush, it is related to mulgaras
(also rat-like) and to quolls/possums.
It gets the moisture it needs from its diet of insects, spiders and other small prey.
