It is believed that habitat alteration by humans and predation by introduced cats and foxes caused the extinction of the desert rat-kangaroo.
However, it is uncertain whether or not the desert rat kangaroo is truly extinct. It was only discovered in 1843, but disappeared again just as quickly. It was rediscovered briefly in 1931 by Hedley Herbert Finlayson, Curator of Mammals at the South Australian Museum, but has not been seen again since. Some scientists believe that it is a very elusive creature which could still exist in the remote desert.
