Lesser hairy-footed dunnart
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Speciesbox
The lesser hairy-footed dunnart (Sminthopsis youngsoni) is a small carnivorous Australian marsupial of the family Dasyuridae. It is a widespread and fairly common species, being found in many desert areas of Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland.[1] Its foraging strategies have been studied by Haythornthwaite and Dickman.[2]
The lesser hairy-footed dunnart is distinguished from the very similar hairy-footed dunnart by its smaller size and less hairy soles.[1]
Population dynamics
During dry periods, hairy-footed dunnart populations remain stable, instead of experiencing a boom-bust cycle like sandy inland mice.[3]
