Brush-tailed Phascogale (Vulnerable).
June is the month when female Brush-tailed Phascogales give birth. Males die after their first breeding season at about one year old. These animals prefer to den inside hollows in live or dead trees. However, a lack of tree hollows limits successful breeding in some forests. Less secure dens leave them open to predators like foxes and cats. Wildlife groups use artificial nest boxes to give them safe places to live.
