Relating to or belonging to the Dasyuridae family of small to medium-sized carnivorous marsupials found mainly in Australia.
From the family name 'Dasyuridae' (from Greek 'dasy' meaning thick/dense, referring to thick fur) plus Latin '-inus' (relating to or like), describing animals with characteristic dense fur.
Dasyurines include quolls, Tasmanian devils, and numbats—ferocious little marsupials with metabolisms so fast they're almost constantly hunting or sleeping, which is why seeing one is incredibly rare.
