    • 2024, David Owen, David Pemberton, Tasmanian Devil, Allen & Unwin, page 57:
      The red-tailed phascogale (Phascogale calura) survives in Australia's arid centre through an impressive adaptation: it is immune to the poisonous plants upon which it feeds, as are the native carnivores which prey upon it.
