WEBINAR | Monotremes, Marsupials & More: Mammals of Australia
Originally presented August 29, 2023
Meet some of the weird and wonderful mammals of Australia and learn what makes them so special. Expedition Leader Nicola Sentinella explains the differences between monotremes (like egg-laying echidna and platypus), marsupials (kangaroo, wombat, koala and mulgara) and placental mammals (dingo, mice and bat). She also details some of the adaptions that allow them to survive in extreme environments, from the alpine reaches of the Snowy Mountains to the continent’s harsh central deserts.

WEBINAR | Under Down Under: Exploring Tasmania/lutruwita
Originally presented August 16, 2023
Tasmania, known as lutruwita in the Indigenous palawa kani language, is home to numerous endemic marsupials, birds and plants, including monotremes—mammals that lay eggs—like the duck-billed platypus and echidna. The island is also a stronghold for many threatened species, including some that are extinct on the mainland, such as the Tasmanian devil and the eastern quoll. Expedition Leader Nikki Sentinella introduces us to this ancient and wild place filled with staggering landscapes, unique wildlife, and a rich history reaching back to the supercontinent of Gondwana.
