Tiny, tiny, tiny Pilbara enters the LRT
Pilbara ningaui
(Archer 1975, extant, Australia. 4.5 to 5.8cm + a longer tail) is among the smallest mammals of all time. Pilbara is a phylogenetically miniaturized descendant of Sminthopsis, transitional to extant placental tree shrews AND the Petaurus clade of marsupials that include sugar gliders, marsupial lions and wombats in the large reptile tree . Note the tiny canine tooth (orange). Males are larger than females. Litters of 4 to 6 pouch young are produced. Lifespan: rarely over a year.
The skull is shorter than 1cm in length. (Click links to see images, some at full scale).
This taxon was originally named Ningaui. See citation below.
Since Pilbara is basal to
Middle Jurassic Docofossor, Pilbara likely had its genesis in the Early Jurassic. IF so, that makes Pilbara a long-lived, long-overlooked genus.
