The Dunnart is a small marsupial found primarily in Australia and New Guinea. It belongs to the family Sminthopsis and is known for its slender body, large ears, and long tail. Dunnarts are nocturnal and typically inhabit a variety of environments, including grasslands, woodlands, and scrublands. They are insectivorous, feeding mainly on insects and other small invertebrates. There are several species of dunnarts, with the Eastern Dunnart and Fat-tailed Dunnart being among the most recognized. These animals play a crucial role in their ecosystems by helping to control insect populations. Due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures, some dunnart species are considered vulnerable.
