Original fauna

Description

We know that Australia has a terrible record of extinction. But how do you look for what's missing when you never knew what was there? Paul Willis ventures into caves at Wee Jasper in NSW, to dig up centuries old owl pellets (the regurgitated hair and bones of their meals) that can tell us a surprising amount about the history of the fauna in the area.
