(Phascogale tapoatafa)
With no fear of heights these fantastic climbers spend much of their lives, 25 metres above the forest floor in the branches of jarrah trees.
The Brush-tailed phascogale has a distinctive black bush tail with a grey coat of fur. It has a narrow face, large eyes with blue around the iris and large, pointed ears. They have long dexterous toes with sharp claws, and quite flexible feet, allowing for easy climbing.
