Australia’s mammals are some of the most unique—and endangered—on Earth. As extinction risks rise, the race to discover and protect our remaining species has never been more urgent.
In this edition of The WA Museum Lectures, Dr Kenny Travouillon, Curator of Mammalogy at the WA Museum, takes us inside the evolving world of species discovery. From cutting-edge genetics to fossils and traditional morphology, Kenny will show how science is helping uncover what’s been hiding in plain sight.
He’ll also share recent finds from Barrow Island and the Nullarbor Plain—and what these discoveries tell us about the species we’ve lost, and those still holding on.
Expect surprising finds, strange mammals, and a fresh appreciation for the creatures that call this place home.
