The Kakadu dunnart (Sminthopsis bindi) is a dunnart that was described in 1994 and the closest relative is the Carpentarian dunnart. Its typical body length is 50-85mm long with a tail of 60-105mm for a total length of between 110-190mm, and a weight of between 10-25g, placing this species in the mid-range of the weight of dunnarts. Its colour is grey, gingery on the upper body and underbelly with white feet.[3]
The Kakadu dunnart's distribution is the Top End of the Northern Territory of Australia around the Kakadu National Park, and it prefers a habitat of stony woodlands on hilly geography.[3]
Little is known about the social organisation or breeding habits of this species, as it is not well studied, but it probably breeds in the dry season and may burrow.[3]
Its diet may include arthropods and other insects.[3]
