cracks; to find its prey, perhaps to avoid predators, or more probably for both reasons. The clays and blacksoils of the Top End typically develop deep cracks as they dry after the monsoonal summer rains, which persist right through the eight-month dry season until the wet begins again, usually producing floods that force small creatures like the long-tailed planigale to seek refuge on high ground.

Breeding can take place at any time of year, but mostly during the wet season. Four to eight young are born, sometimes as many as 12 in southern populations; the young spend six weeks in the backward-facing pouch, and then about another six weeks hidden in a grassy nest under bark or other vegetation

have a flattened head, much broader than it is deep. This smallest planigale takes skull depth to an extreme: at just 3 to 4 mm (0.12 to 0.16 in) from top to bottom, the skull is one-fifth as deep as it is wide. The purpose, it seems, is to allow it to squeeze into the tiniest of soil

Combined head-body length varies from 55 to 65 mm (2.2 to 2.6 in), averaging 59 mm (2.3 in) in both sexes; the tail length is similar. Average male weight is 4.2 g (0.15 oz), 4.3 g (0.15 oz) for females; a really large specimen can reach almost 6 g

Usually, it eats only the soft parts, discarding the head and wings. 2101: 2166: 2140: 2261: 251:.
