Clip description

Out in the bush, ecologist Wyn Jones says that Australian bushland is not necessarily devoid of life if no mammals are visible. He points out that many animals are nocturnal and that other species like birds and insects can flourish in a landscape free of mammals during the day.

Curator’s notes

Seeing the ecologist in the natural landscape gives us a good sense of his enthusiasm and ease in the environment
