little red kaluta
The little red kaluta (''Dasykaluta rosamondae''), also known as the little red antechinus, russet antechinus, spinifex antechinus or simply kaluta, is a carnivorous nocturnal marsupial. It lives in the dry areas of Western Australia. Individuals are 9–11 cm (3.5-4.3 in) long and weigh 20-40 grams (0.7-1.4 oz). They live for about three years in captivity.
==Taxonomy==
The little red kaluta is a member of the family Dasyuridae. When it was first described by W.D.L. Ride in 1964, the species was placed in the genus ''Antechinus''. However, in 1982 Mike Archer assigned it to its own genus. It has since been shown to be most closely related to the Dibbler (''Parantechinus apicalis'').〔
"Kaluta" is an Aboriginal name for this species, and this is reflected in the generic name ''Dasykaluta'', which means "hairy kaluta". The species name, ''rosamondae'', is a reference to Rosamund Clifford, the famous mistress of Henry II of England, who is said to have had red hair.〔
