The Brush-Tailed Phascogale is gray, with a white ventral surface and throat and a black bushy tail. The Red-Tailed Phascogale is brownish gray, with a white ventral surface and throat and a less bushy tail that is reddish near the base but black near the tip.

The phascogale is a small carnivorous marsupial (or dasyurid) of Australia, averaging around 20 cm in length. It feeds on small invertebrates such as insects and arthropods, nectar and even small vertebrates such as mice, birds lizards.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.
The phascogale is a tiny, omnivorous marsupial found only in Australia. It builds a nest of bark, feathers and fur in hollow tree stumps and branches.

A phascogale, also known as a brush-tailed phascogale, breathes through lungs like other mammals. It inhales air through its nostrils, which then travels down the trachea into the lungs, where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the alveoli. This process is essential for their survival, providing the necessary oxygen to support their active lifestyle. Additionally, phascogales have a relatively high metabolic rate, necessitating efficient breathing to meet their oxygen demands.
No, but very few marsupials do not have pouches. These include the numbat and the red-tailed phascogale.
It is endangered because their habitat area is now 1% of what it used to be! They are confined in the Wheat Belt in Wesetern Australia.
There are several marsupials with backwards-facing pouches. They include:wombatkoalaGreater bilbyplanigalequollsome species of phascogale also have a backwards facing pouch
Phascogales are mainly arboreal (tree-dwelling) marsupials, so they primarily move around by climbing. When on the ground, they walk.
