Australia doesn’t have any ‘kill sites’. In fact, there’s no hard evidence people hunted the megafauna.
A case of mistaken identity has hampered efforts to save the woylie, one of Australia’s most endangered marsupials.
Scientists have discovered that the kultarr – one of Australia’s most elusive marsupials – is actually three different species.
We found three previously unknown species of mulgaras hiding in museum collections – but all three have been driven to extinction since European colonisation of Australia.
After combing through museum collections, our team of researchers found a whopping 125 fluorescent mammal species – from polar bears and dolphins, to leopards, zebras and wombats.
The tiny, mouse-like planigales are some of the smallest marsupials around – and there are two more species of them than anybody realised.
A new list of 404 Australian mammal species is a crucial conservation step in the face of the ongoing extinction crisis.
Two newly discovered species of quokka-sized kangaroos, which lived 18 million years ago in the Queensland rainforest, show evolution in the act of giving kangaroos a taste for leaves.
Very few bilby and bandicoot fossils have ever been found. Four new discoveries help fill in the picture of how these elusive animals evolved.
