Burrowing Beasts: The Secret Underground World of Australian Mammals
Beneath the Sunburnt Country
Hidden beneath the vast expanse of the Australian outback, a secret world of burrows and tunnels awaits. Here, in the depths of the earth, an extraordinary array of mammals construct elaborate underground havens, creating a fascinating and often unseen ecosystem.
A Wealth of Burrowers
Approximately 22 of Australia's 300 non-flying land-dwelling mammals rely on burrows for shelter. These include beloved icons such as kangaroos and wallabies, as well as the lesser-known but equally intriguing boodie, a small, burrowing marsupial known as the "Lesueur's rat-kangaroo."
