  • New research from the University of Melbourne investigates the astonishing biology of the marsupial mole.
  • The study reveals that these moles, resembling true moles, are more closely related to bandicoots and bilbies.
  • They have an extra gene for haemoglobin, aiding in oxygen transport for their underground lifestyle.
  • Findings suggest that marsupial moles progressively lost their eyesight over millions of years.
  • Research emphasizes the importance of conservation for this unusual species, known as "itjaritjari" among Indigenous Aṉangu people.
