Habitat

"Us Rangers, we know where Warrana living. So we look between the salt lake and the sand dunes, we know where they are"
 Christine Ellis, Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary /Nyirripi Ranger, December 2021

 Tjakura occupies a variety of environments across their distribution from hard spinifex gravelly plains and sandplains to semi-saline soft spinifex sandplains, and even non-spinifex mulga (Acacia aneura) woodland. A common feature of occupied habitat appears to be a more benign fire regime where fire size and/ or frequency is limited by either regular burning by Aboriginal people or other land managers, or an inherent patchiness in fuels (due to presence of bare salt pan or rock outcropping).

 Tjakura commonly occurs on open spinifex sandplains and adjacent dune field swales
