Dibblers, though small, are exceedingly aggressive and will fight for their survival against predators. Animals which eat dibblers include owls, quolls and introduced predators such as foxes and feral cats.
Dibbler was created in 1842.
The dibbler is a small marsupial of Australia. The female dibbler does not have any particular name.
In 1884, the Dibbler was declared extinct, but some were found on the southern coast of Western Australia in 1967.
Extinct
A dibbler is a small, endangered marsupial native to Australia, and about the size of a mouse - hence, it is often grouped with the so-called "marsupial mice" of Australia. It is one of the group of marsupials known as dasyurids, which includes all the carnivorous marsupials. Thought to be extinct for many years, this tiny creature was rediscovered in a limited number of coastal heath and mallee heath regions of southwest Western Australia. To feed, the dibbler forages for both vertebrates and invertebrates in leaf litter, or it climbs the leaves of shrubs to catch insects.

The dibbler is a small Australian marsupial with a head-body length of about 14cm and a tail length of 9 - 11.5 cm. The tail is fully furred and tapers off quite sharply at the end. The dibbler has distinctive white eye-rings. Being a marsupial, the female has a pouch.
Quotation from Perth Zoo's homepage: "The Dibbler is threatened by loss of habitat caused by land clearing, die-back disease and wildfires. They are also predated on by introduced predators such as foxes and cats."
The dibbler is a small, carnivorous marsupial found only in Australia. It is restricted to old-growth mallee heath in the coastal areas of southwestern Western Australia.
The Inspirations and then some with Archie Watkins and Melton Campbell.
The Dibbler is a carnivore and feeds largely ground dwelling insects or other invertebrates, small lizards, small birds and small mammals.
Yes. The dibbler is a small, carnivorous marsupial found only in Australia. It is restricted to old-growth mallee heath in the coastal areas of southwestern Western Australia.
