[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The endangered dusky hopping mouse, in the remote sand dunes of the Strezleki Desert, is one of those species benefiting from the dingo's presence.
A number of creatures being displayed are now extinct, including a 200-year-old flightless swamp hen which lived on an island off Australia; the Himalayan mountain quail, which vanished in Victorian times; the Paradise Parrot (last seen about 1930) and the Long-tailed Hopping Mouse which lived in Western Australia.
