A new marsupial has been discovered and has been noted for the incredible climatic demise these minuscule creatures endure. The Black-tailed antechinus is approximately the size of a mouse with the sex drive of a teenager. They mate very promiscuously up until the very moment the male dies of over-exertion.
The black tailed antechinus carries a heavy brown fur coat followed by a orange rump and black tail, it resembles a shrew or mouse. These marsupials have solely been discovered at the highest peak of Gondwana rain forest located in southeast Queensland; which is astonishing considering that the discovery of new mammals is quite rare. Global warming and the destruction of its habitat is proving the preservation and study of this species increasingly difficult.
