Description The Kowari is 16.5-18 cm long with a 13-14 cm tail. Its diet consists mainly of insects and spiders, but probably also small lizards, birds or rodents.[1] It is known as a voracious predator. It lives in underground burrows, singly or in small groups. It emerges to hunt among grass tussocks for food. It breeds in winter, from May-October, and gives birth to litters of 5-6 young after a gestation of 32 days.[1]
The Kowari is coloured ashy-grey, and its distinguishing feature is the brush of black hairs on the end of its tail, which differs from that found in the mulgaras (Dasycercus) in that it completely encircles the end of the tail.[3] Binomial name Dasycercus cristicauda (Krefft, 1867) The Mulgara (Dasycercus cristicauda) lives in deserts and spinifex bush of central Australia. ...
Habitat The Kowari is found in stony desert areas of the Lake Eyre drainage basin, in north-eastern South Australia and southwestern Queensland. West of Lake Eyre it is declining, and is now possibly extinct in this area.[4] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...
