Program: Soundscape: Spinifex Hopping Mouse

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Nocturnal Worlds was produced by the Audiocraft team: Olivia O'Flynn, Laura Brierley Newton, Kate Montague, Lorna Clarkson and supported by the Australian Museum.

With thanks to Rob Dockerill and Melanie Valkenburg from Taronga Zoo, and Selena Shannon.
