**Next episode Monday 23 March** What drives someone to track kiwis in the rain, chase lions up trees, or jump on dugongs? And with so many species out there, does it matter if a few of them go the way of the Dodo? Join Gabriel and Alex talking with incredible conservationists and asking them the big questions: Should we bother saving a population of 400 black cockatoos? Why do all your favourite moments from researching big cats always involve them trying to eat you? How are flightless kiwis so hard to catch?!

THE AUSTRALIAN MOUSE THAT BECAME "UN-EXTINCT" w/ evolutionary biologist Dr Emily Roycroft

What a title hey?
Apologies for this episode being a few days late, we're both still getting a handle on keeping this podcast running while now working full-time!

But enough of that, it's time for Episode 18! Our guest on this episode, Dr Emily Roycroft, was supposed to be studying the family tree of eight species of extinct Australian rodents. She then realised one wasn't actually extinct. Listen in to hear that story, and whether this mouse will go extinct for the SECOND time.
