The black-tailed treecreeper (Climacteris melanurus) is a species of
Climacteridae. It is endemic
to north and northwestern Australia.
Its natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.[1]
Description
Both genders are dark brown and black-tailed. The male has a black throat while the female has a white throat.[2]
Breeding
They participate in cooperative breeding, in which multiple individuals assist in raising young—not just the biological parents.[3] They likely reach sexual maturity around 2 years old.[3]
