A small to medium-sized carnivorous marsupial from Australia, including quolls, Tasmanian devils, and native cats.
From Greek 'dasys' (thick, hairy) + Old French 'ure' (suffix forming animal names). The term was coined to describe these hairy Australian marsupials.
Dasyures are basically Australia's answer to weasels and stoats—fierce, furry hunters with massive attitude despite their small size, and some are only the size of a mouse!
