Scientific Name
Conilurus penicillatus
Category
Mammals

Another member of the generic term mulbbu or djirrkkinj or bob (in Kune dialect). In Kundjeyhmi the name is barri. This name may have been more widespread in other dialects, but no speakers can confirm this. Like all small mammals, the brush-tailed rabbit rat is now very rare in Bininj country as a result of feral cat predation.
