Dasykauta rosamondae or known as Little Red Kaluta is found in Western Australia.  In this essay you will learn about its habitat, diet, size, population, and predators. 


The Little Red Kaluta lives in Western Australia. They are mostly found in Triodia hummock grasslands. Stuff like Grasslands and Sand Dunes. 

 
A Kaluta’s diet consists of insects and small vertebrates. There are not very many predators to the Kaluta.

 

Population is not an estimate but it is a least concern on the extinction chart. When in mating season males die after shortly due to stress. Females carry young for 7 weeks before birth.
