The country associated with the Janganpa Jukurrpa (Brushtailed Possum [Tricosurus vulpecula] Dreaming) is Mungapunju, a hill south of the Yuendumu. A large family of ancestral janganpa travelled east to Yukurdiyi. Then they travelled back to Mungapunju. The janganpa live in hollow trees and hunt nocturnally, carrying their young on their backs. Janganpa were once frequently found across much of Warlpiri and neighboring country but have become extinct in recent years. It is speculated that this extinction may be due to feral cat predation and the changes to their habitat caused by the introduction of cattle and other feral animals. The janganpa is considered good meat for yapa (Warlpiri people). Japaljarri/Jungarrayi men and Napaljarri/Nungarrayi women are the custodians of this Jukurrpa. In traditional Warlpiri iconography circles are used to represent the camps of the janganpa, curved lines depict the tracks led by the janganpas tail and 'E' shapes are used to represent the janganpa's footprints.
