*the phascogales (members of the eponymous genus Phascogale), also known as wambengers, are carnivorous Australian marsupials of the family ‘dasyuridae’*
.
(there are three species: the brush-tailed phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa), the red-tailed phascogale (Phascogale calura), and the northern brush-tailed phascogale (Phascogale pirata))
(as with a number of dasyurid species, the males live for only one year, dying after a period of frenzied mating)
(the term Phascogale was coined in 1824 by Coenraad Jacob Temminck in reference to the brush-tailed phascogale, and means “pouched weasel”)
.
(all 3 species are listed as either ‘near threatened’ or ‘vulnerable’ by the ‘IUCN’)
