                                 The Brush-Tailed Phascogale (or Tuan) is a
                                 primarily tree-dwelling, nocturnal marsupial
                                 with a very distinctive black brush-like tail. Its
                                 diet predominantly consists of insects, spiders

                                 trees and leaf litter. Habitat clearing has made
                                 the Tuan more susceptible to predators such
                                 as foxes and cats, and as a result, it is now
                                 considered a vulnerable species.
