| Abstract | Various activities of the White-footed Dunnart, Sminthopsis leucopus, were observed during a study of home range and habitat utilisation at Bald Hills heathlands within the ALCOA lease area of the Anglesea heathlands. Five Dunnarts were fitted with radio collars and tracked. This brief report describes their hunting and feeding behaviour and nesting patterns. In general Dunnarts appeared to be relatively solitary animals, with little interaction between the observed individuals (A). |
