The white-footed marsupial mouse is a small marsupial mammal from Australia. It is a nocturnal predator the size of a mouse that hunts insects and small animals.
The white-footed marsupial mouse differs from related species by its white feet and small body size. It is important for nature because it controls insect populations and serves as prey for larger predators.
