According to the reports this excessive love for sex takes this species to the brink of extinction. Reports suggests that half of the adult males died because of the their sex love.
If antechinus extinct, these effects a lot on other species. Some plants depends on these animal's assist to their pollination. If the antechinus died out, these plant could be extinct too.
