DNA Reveals the Weird World of Australia's Marsupial Mole

Dive into the mysterious world of the southern marsupial mole, one of Australia's most cryptic creatures!

Thanks to groundbreaking DNA research, scientists have uncovered astonishing secrets about this elusive animal.

With non-functioning eyes beneath its skin, a backward-facing pouch, and males lacking a scrotum, the marsupial mole is full of surprises.

Recent DNA analysis reveals how these moles gradually lost their vision genes over time, shedding light on their unique adaptations for a subterranean lifestyle.

In this video, we'll explore the fascinating findings, including their close relationship with bandicoots and bilbies, all descending from a common ancestor 60 million years ago.

Learn about the challenges of studying such a rare creature and the insights this research provides into its genetic diversity and population history.

This deep dive into evolution, genetics, and the incredible adaptability of nature will leave you amazed.
