UNE's Professor Karl Vernes and colleagues Dr Rex Mitchell and Professor Vera Weisbecker from Flinders University have recently published an article on the Conversation looking at the desert rat-kangaroo.

Rediscovered in the 1930s, the creature was re-declared extinct in the 90s - but researchers think there's a good likelihood it still survives in pockets of habitat in the Sturt Stony Desert.

Ash sits down with Professor Karl Vernes to discuss the creature, and the team's work on it's diet and existence.
