Long-tailed Planigale

The long-tailed planigale (Planigale ingrami), also known as Ingram's planigale or the northern planigale, is the smallest of all marsupials, and one of the smallest of all mammals. It is rarely seen but is a quite common inhabitant of the blacksoil plains, clay-soiled woodlands, and seasonally flooded grasslands of Australia's Top End. Taxonomy The long-tailed planigale was described in 1906 by Oldfield Thomas, who placed it in the genus Phascogale.
