mulgara (mul-GAR-uh) - n., either of two rat-sized carnivorous marsupials (genus Dasycercus) with a pointed snout and large eyes native to central Australia.


Closely related to the Tasmanian devil and quolls. The name is attested from the 1940s, probably from the Wangganguru name, mardagura. It's kinda a cutie, actually -- this is a crest-tailed mulgara (D. cristicauda):

mulgara with a crested (rather than actually fat) tail

Cute until it EATS YOUR FACE, lol. ...I have no idea if they would actually do that, I'm just being a smartass.
