The white-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis granulipes), also known as the ash-grey dunnart, is a dunnart native to Australia.[2] It has an average body length of {{convert|126|-|168|mm|abbr=on}}, a snout to anus length of 70–100 mm, a tail measurement of 56–68 mm and a weight which varies between {{convert|18|and|35|g|1}}. The tail is often swollen at the base with brown near anus to white at the tip.

Distribution and habitat

This dasyurid occupies two separate areas in Western Australia. The first is east of Perth in the western Goldfields area and the second is to the north of Perth between Kalbarri and Jurien Bay. Habitat consists of coastal heath and sparse to dense shrublands sometimes with mallee eucalypt.

Social organisation and breeding

Little is known of the behaviour and breeding of this marsupial, though it is most likely nocturnal. It breeds from June through August with young weaned by October.

Diet

The white-tailed dunnart mainly eats insects.
