Marsupial mouse is the broad heading given to numerous tiny dasyurids, or carnivorous marsupials of Australia. They include the antechinus, dibbler, ningaui, phascogale, planigale, kultarr, dunnart, kaluta, mulgara and kowari, but these creatures are not related to the rodent known as "mouse" at all.
