Das Wongai-Ningaui (Ningaui ridei), auch Rides Ningaui genannt, ist ein sehr kleiner Vertreter aus der Familie der Raubbeutler. Es kommt im Innern Australiens vor.[1]
Das Wongai-Ningaui erreicht eine Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von 57 bis 75 Millimeter, eine Schwanzlänge von 59 bis 71 Millimeter und ein Gewicht von 6,5 bis 10,5 Gramm. Vom Pilbara-Ningaui (Ningaui timealeyi) unterscheidet es sich durch die kleineren (weniger als 1 mm lang) und weniger deutlicher ausgeprägten Fußballen. Weibchen haben des Pilbara-Ningaui haben nur sechs Zitzen, die des Wongai-Ningaui maximal acht. Vom weiter südlich vorkommenden Südlichen Ningaui (Ningaui yvonneae) ist das Wongai-Ningaui äußerlich nicht zu unterscheiden. Es hat größere Paukenblasen als das Südliche Ningaui.[1]
Das Wongai-Ningaui lebt in den Wüsten und Halbwüsten des australischen Inlandes, die mit Stachelkopfgräsern, Sträuchern wie Acacia ligulata, Grevillea eriostachya, Thryptomene maisonneuvei und Eucalyptus youngiana und Bäumen wie dem Mulga (Acacia aneura), Acacia cambagei, Allocasuarina decaisneana, Hakea lorea und Schmuckzypressen (Callitris) bestanden sind. Meist liegt die jährliche Niederschlagsmenge bei weniger als 350 mm, aber in Queensland reicht das Verbreitungsgebiet bis zu 500 mm Isohyete. In Regionen die der Monsun erreicht, wie die Region Pilbara im Norden von in Westaustralien, kommt das Wongai-Ningaui nicht vor. Über die Ernährung des Wongai-Ningaui ist bisher nichts bekannt. Die zwei anderen Arten der Gattung ernähren sich vor allem von Wirbellosen. Das Wongai-Ningaui ist nachtaktiv und verbringt den Tag in dichten Büschen, in natürlichen Hohlräumen oder in Erdbauten die von anderen Tieren wie Echsen oder große Spinnen gegraben wurden. Nur selten graben Wongai-Ningaui selbst ein Erdloch. Die Weibchen haben sechs bis acht Zitzen und bekommen pro Wurf fünf bis acht Jungtiere.[1]
Die IUCN stuft das Wongai-Ningaui als ungefährdet (Least Concern) ein. Es ist weit verbreitet, häufig und kommt in mehreren Schutzgebieten vor.[2]

Verbreitungskarte des Wongai-Ningaui
The Wongai ningaui (Ningaui ridei) is a tiny carnivorous marsupial native to the arid open grasslands of inland Australia. Their diet is mainly small insects, and occasionally larger prey such as spiders, grasshoppers and cockroaches, which they forage for at the ground and in clumps of spinifex. They have long and untidy fur, grey or gingery brown with longer black hairs, small ears, a narrow muzzle, and possess a partially prehensile tail and feet that allow them to climb. The population occurs sparsely across a wide area and common in favourable habitat, especially in years of good rainfall. Ningaui ridei was first described in 1975, one of two species of a new genus discovered amongst the poorly known mammals of the western regions of Australia.
Ningaui ridei and the Pilbara species, Ningaui timealeyi, were two species of Ningaui described by Australian biologist Mike Archer when the genus was erected in 1975 (the southern species, Ningaui yvonneae, would be described in 1983), although the Pilbara ningaui was designated the type species. The Wongai ningaui was described from two subadult specimens collected near Laverton in Western Australia. The scientific name of this species honours the Australian naturalist W. D. L. Ride,[4] who recognised the paraphyly of specimens that had been assigned to Planigale, including some that Archer placed with the new species.[3]
The common name Wongai ningaui was recognised in the 2001 census of Australian vertebrates;[5] the species is also referred to Ride's ningaui.[6]
A species of Ningaui. with a combined head and body length of 58 to 75 millimetres, tail length of 60 to 70 mm and weight range of 6.5 to 10.5 grams. The females present 6 to 8 teats. The appearance of the pelage is spiky and dishevelled, with grey hair mixed with brown or ginger; the obvious guard hairs are black. The ears do not extend far above the fur at the crown of the head, the eyes are close set and relatively small, and their face narrows at the muzzle. A gingery colour appears at the side of the head and at the lower parts of the ears. Flanks are a yellow-grey colour, and the ventral side is whitish.[6]
Ningaui ridei occurs with the superficially similar species Ningaui yvonneae in a narrow overlap of their distribution range west of Kalgoorlie, they may be distinguished in the field by the length of the first toe. The first toe of the hindfoot is level with the interdigital pads at the lower surface, a diagnosis that separates this species from the shorter toe of N. yvonneae.[6]
Even smaller than a house mouse, the Wongai ningaui is greyish above and lighter below. It has a semi-prehensile tail, needle sharp teeth and a long snout. The name ningaui derives from an Aboriginal word for tiny mythological beings that are hairy, have short feet and only come out at night. Ningauis use their sharp teeth to kill their insect prey by swiftly biting them around the head. They hunt by night and rest among the spinifex hummocks by day. The females have as many as five to seven young, the breeding season beginning in October.[1]
The Wongai ningaui lives mostly in the interior of Australia, on dunes or sandplains that have spinifex, or grasslands and occasional trees such as acacias, desert oaks and mulga, Australian Cypress Pine and arid heathland plants.[1] The distribution range begins west of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia across northern South Australia and southern Northern Territory to southwestern Queensland. They are sparsely distributed but may be locally common.[6] The population decreases if annual rainfall is low.[2]
A solitary and nocturnal animal that resides in hummocks of Triodia, or within a log, or tunnel just below the ground. They forage for invertebrates, most of which are insects less than ten millimetres, but may pursue larger prey such as spiders, grasshoppers and cockroaches. When conditions are unsuitable the species is able to reduce its requirements by entering a state of torpor. The litter size is five to seven young, these remain at a nest site until six weeks and gain independence by thirteen weeks; only a few young survive to reproduce in the next season. The female bears young during September to October and may rear a second litter in the same year.[6]
The IUCN Red List assessed the conservation status of the species in 2015 as least concern, with a population that is unlikely to be in decline and not meeting the criteria of a greater threat of extinction. Ningaui ridei is found within protected areas and conservation reserves in parts of its distribution range.[2] Regional authorities, in Queensland and the Northern Territory, also list this species by the conservation status least concern.

De Wongainingaui (Ningaui ridei) is een buidelmuis uit het geslacht Ningaui die voorkomt in de droge binnenlanden van Australië (oostelijk West-Australië, de zuidelijke helft van het Noordelijk Territorium en de zuidelijke van Zuid-Australië en Zuidwest-Queensland). Het dier komt slechts voor in hummock-grasland met wat bomen op zand. In die gebieden komt het dier vrij algemeen voor.
De Wongainingaui is een kleine buidelmuis met een smalle bek, kleine ogen en oren en een dunne staart. De bovenkant is grijsbruin, de flanken geelgrijs en de onderkant wit. De kop-romplengte bedraagt 58 tot 75 mm, de staartlengte 60 tot 70 mm en het gewicht 6,5 tot 12 g.
Deze ningaui is een solitaire, 's nachts actieve soort. Beschutting vindt het dier in zelfgebouwde nesten in vegetatie, in omgevallen bomen of in kleine tunnels. N. ridei eet kleine ongewervelden, zoals kevers, sprinkhanen en spinnen. Als hij het zwaar heeft, komt hij in een toestand van bewusteloosheid (torpor) terecht.
Na een draagtijd van 13 tot 21 dagen worden in september-oktober vijf tot zeven jongen geboren, die na zes weken in het nest worden gehouden en na dertien weken onafhankelijk zijn. Vrouwtjes kunnen per jaar twee nesten krijgen; het gebeurt slechts zelden dat een dier zijn tweede jaar haalt.
Deze soort komt voor in de (half)woestijnen en open habitats van centraal Australië
