Native Mammal Facility

The Native Mammal Facility is located at the Hawkesbury campus and includes state of the art small mammal and reptile houses, wild animal holding and research pens, as well as molecular and chemical laboratories. The facility is utilised for teaching various aspects of native mammals to undergraduate classes in animal science and environmental biology as well as for research purposes. The facility currently houses two species of small carnivorous marsupials (Dasyurids), the red-tailed phascogale and kultarr, and two native murids, spinifex hopping-mice and plains rats. All four species are unique arid zone native mammals.
