Clip description

Zoologist Andrew Dennis, studying the hypsi kangaroo in a tropical rainforest, discovers that during summer when food is abundant, the testes of the musky rat-kangaroo increase in size, and shrink again during winter.

Curator’s notes

An interesting discovery nicely observed, and told through the voice of the scientist.
