Thanks, WikiMedia!
Australia's largest remaining native carnivore, about the size of a domestic cat, once wide-spread but now surviving only in the southwest. The name, which also comes from a Noongar/Nyungar language, is not recorded in the common dictionaries, but is reported in several species databases.
