A tiny marsupial thought nearly gone is thriving behind a giant fence

Australian Wildlife Conservancy rangers caught 48 red-tailed phascogales at Mt Gibson this year — up from 28 in 2024 and the most since the species was reintroduced nine years ago inside a 7,800-hectare feral-free fence on Badimia Country. Proof that when you remove the cats and foxes, the bush bounces back.
