446:, its overall objective being to stabilise the species and prevent population decreases. Specific objectives include: clarifying distribution, population size, and habitat; to create and employ management strategies of the sub-populations; maintaining captive populations; investigating the biology of captive individuals; and to increase awareness in the community. Recovery actions include establishing the sizes of sub-populations and monitoring changes in them, creating a fire strategy for known population locations, and capturing animals to add to the 384:
central rock rat consists of four major food groups that can be found across all seasons. Seed makes up 72% of the species' food intake. The rest of its diet consists of plant leaves (21%), plant stems (3%), and insects (4%). They can be found near rocky habitats for burrow sites and local seed availability. This helps to explain why the central rock rat is found in such low numbers, since they rely on constant food supply and a steady and supportive habitat. This makes the central rock rat difficult to find in the

underbelly. The lightly furred tail is the most noticeable feature of the central rock rat. The tail base is thick and bulky. The thickness of the tail has been reported to be a fat storage adaptation, an effect of scarce food distribution. Rock rats are known to lose their tails, fur and skin very easily and are, therefore, known to be difficult to handle. As for their birthrate, captive animals have bred and have had litters of various sizes, ranging from one to four young.

The central rock rat is a largely granivorous, having a preference for seeds from grasses of the genus Triodia. These grasses become abundant after long periods of no fires, explaining why populations of this species are steady even in areas that have no recently experienced fires. The diet of the

The National Recovery Plan for the central rock rat in 2017 suggested to attempt another breeding program during a natural irruption phase of the wild population, for example after the heavy rainfall in the winter of 2016, so as to limit the effects on the wild numbers of the species. A limited

trapped an animal which was later identified from photographs as the central rock rat. Since that time sub-populations have been found at 15 other sites over a small area of the West MacDonnell Ranges. The full range of the current distribution of the species is unknown.

The species was believed to be extinct in both 1990 and 1994 due to population decline. In 2001 individuals were trapped from fourteen locations, but in 2002 drought and wildfire struck the area and the species was not recorded after that. It has been classed as

The rats have been found in rocky outcrops and on mountainsides with loose stones, as well as hilly grasslands and low open shrubland or woodland. Historically, the central rock rat is only known to be found in a 77 km (48 mi) stretch of the
388:. They play an essential role in seed dispersal as well as food resource for other animals in the wild. The species likely has a pattern of recovery and expansion during wet periods, probably due to increased food supply. 469:. After initially introducing 14 individuals from the wild, the first generation bred successfully but the subsequent one had significant trouble, eventually leading to the death of the last male in 2011. 1095:"Haematology and serum biochemistry of three Australian desert murids: the Plains rat (Pseudomys australis), the Spinifex hopping-mouse (Notomys alexis) and the Central rock-rat (Zyzomys pedunculatus)" 417:
