The kowari has scent glands which it uses for communicating. It uses the scent glands and its urine for marking its territory and burrows.
When threatened, the kowari makes a loud, sharp, staccato chattering sound. They also make a hissing sound in defence.
A kowari has a soft, dense fur coat that helps insulate it from the harsh desert environment where it lives. Its skin is adapted for protection against the sandy and rocky terrain, providing both camouflage and some resistance to abrasions. The fur is typically a sandy or light brown color, aiding in its ability to blend in with the surroundings. Overall, the kowari's skin and fur are well-suited for its arid habitat.
Introduced species pose the biggest threat to the kowari. In particular, feral cats and foxes are their main predators. Native predators include quolls and owls. The kowari is also threatened by habitat loss and loss of food as a direct result of the introduction of rabbits and livestock, particularly feral goats.
