plural red-tailed phascogales

  1. A carnivorous marsupial, Phascogale calura, found in Western Australia.

    The red-tailed phascogale (Phascogale calura) survives in Australia's arid centre through an impressive adaptation: it is immune to the poisonous plants upon which it feeds, as are the native carnivores which prey upon it.
