Brown Antechinus

The brown antechinus is a carnivorous marsupial found predominantly in Australia's eastern and southeastern parts. It is the world's smallest semelparous mammal, which means that they breed only once in their lifetime before they die. James Stuart, an Irish surgeon, first discovered this species in 1837. In 1841, William Sharp Macleay described this species and named it after Stuart. This is why the brown antechinus is known by other names like Macleay's marsupial mouse and Stuart's antechinus.
