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."

What is a Dibbler?

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.
