Taronga staff work with other scientists in many different ways. Some of our colleagues from universities including Charles Sturt University will soon head to the Kimberley to complete field work, and they will take with them dogs trained to find echidna faeces. So, in the midst of their other work, they might even find traces of a species from Australia that we only know about from cave paintings and animal skins collected more than a century ago.

At the moment, the only long-beaked echidnas (Zaglossus bartoni) we know of are all in the wild in Papua New Guinea, aside from J.R, a male living in the Nocturnal House here at Taronga.

Taronga zookeepers will assist the Charles Sturt team by collecting some of the faeces from J.R. They will then be able to teach their dogs to recognise the scent. To read more about the project, visit @australiangeographic’s website, and to see J.R in person, pop into the Nocturnal House here at Taronga. #forthewild #tarongazoo #conservation
