Fat-tailed dunnart
Tiny but mighty, the fat-tailed dunnart has a clever trick—its chubby tail doubles as a food stash! This little night wanderer might look cute, but it’s built for survival. Spot this pint-sized marsupial in the Woodlands habitat.
Small but stealthy
One of Australia’s smallest marsupials, the fat-tailed dunnart is part of the Dasyurid family, sharing lineage with the Tasmanian devil. It’s a stealthy insect hunter with a special way of stashing energy in its tail.
