Small rodent-like marsupial, about the size and appearance of a small rat.
Very fast and agile. Colour grey-brown with warmer orange tones on the legs. White fur forms indistinct 'spectacles' around the dark eyes. The tail has fine hairs which are darker nearer the tip.
Despite their small size, these are fierce hunters. They generally eat insects but will also eat larger presy such as mice. They have been known to enter bird cages and kill the inmates.
