Description:  The Brown Antechinus is a small carnivorous marsupial mammal.  

Distribution:  The Brown Antechinus is found in forests in south eastern Australia, preferring areas with thick cover & logs.

Comments:  Usually nocturnal but can be active during the day.  Can climb trees.  It hunts beetles, spiders & cockroaches but will take other arthropods if available.

Each year all the Brown Antechinus males die after a short but extremely aggressive & stressful breeding season.
