A baby dunnart, like many marsupial young, is called a "joey".
A dunnart is a small, mouse-sized, carnivorous marsupial found mainly in Australia, with a species also in New Guinea. There are about 19 species of dunnart, with their names often reflecting the locality from which they come, such as the Julia Creek dunnart, Kangaroo island dunnart and Carpentaria dunnart, although the fat-tailed dunnart is an exception to this. Dunnarts on the whole are listed as either endangered or vulnerable. They live for up to 3 years in the wild and 4 years in captivity.
Kangaroo Island Dunnart was created in 1984.
Various species of dunnart can be found in desert, semi-arid regions and open, sparse grasslands of Australia.
A Kangaroo Island dunnart's head-and-body length is about 9 cm, and its tail is about 10 cm long.
The life span of the stripe faced dunnart in the wild is not known, but in captivity it is between 4-5 years.
The main predators of the dunnart are introduced species such as foxes and feral cats. Dunnarts also fall prey to owls, snakes and bats.
