There are two types of phascogales: the red-tailedphascogale (Phascogale calura), also called a wamberger; and the brush-tailedphascogale(Phascogale tapoatafa), which is also called a tuan. The tuan lives in open forest and bushland, rainforest and swampland of coastal areas of eastern Australia. The red-tailed phascogale or wamberger lives only in the far southwestern corner of Western Australia.
