In the heart of Australia’s outback, scientists are conducting an ambitious experiment to help native marsupials like bilbies, bandicoots, and quolls learn to survive alongside their biggest threat — the feral cat.
Inside Sturt National Park, researchers at the Wild Deserts project have created a massive training zone where small native animals are being reintroduced into semi-predator-controlled areas. The goal: to help them adapt, evolve, and reclaim their place in the desert ecosystem.
Discover how generations of marsupials are getting smarter, learning new behaviors, and reshaping Australia’s arid landscapes. With predator pressure, vigilance, and survival instincts in play, could these small mammals truly take back the desert?
