Breakfasters: Sakib Kazi on the Newly Discovered Chubby-Cheeked Rat

Sakib Kazi from Zoos Victoria comes onto the weekly Feature Creatures segment to talk about the adorable 'chubby-cheeked', broad-toothed rat that was recently discovered in Victoria by a conservation sniffer dog. They talk about the endangered rat's features including its chubby cheeks, bright green poos, ability to burrow fantastically intricate tunnels, and what's new in conservation efforts, including the wider push to use Indigenous languages to name native species.
