WHAT DOES WAMBENGER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

wambenger

Phascogale

The Phascogales, also known as wambengers, are carnivorous Australian marsupials of the family Dasyuridae. There are two species: the brush-tailed phascogale and the red-tailed phascogale. As with a number of dasyurid species, the males live for only one year, dying after a period of frenzied mating. The term Phascogale was coined in 1824 by Coenraad Jacob Temminck in reference to the brush-tailed phascogale, and means "pouched weasel".
