In biology a type is that which fixes a name to a Taxon. Depending on the nomenclature code which is applied to the organism in question a type may be a specimen The Fat Tailed Dunnart ( Sminthopsis crassicaudata) is a species of mouse-like Marsupial of the Dasyuridae family the family includes the Little John Gould ( 14 September 1804 – 3 February 1881) was an English Ornithologist. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. Marsupials are an Infraclass of Mammals characterized by a distinctive pouch (called the marsupium) in which females carry their young through They are mainly insectivorous. An insectivore is a type of carnivore with a diet that consists chiefly of Insects and similar small creatures A male dunnart's Y chromosome has only 4 genes, making it the smallest known mammalian Y chromosome.
