Ecologist and dasyurologist Jarrah Dale studies Tasmanian devils and quolls — among other marsupials. He is pictured wearing a red patterned shirt under a colorful lightweight jacket, as well as a wide brimmed felt hat. He has short light brown hair, is wearing green eyeglasses and smiling while looking at a friend and holding what is likely a Tasmanian craft beer and not a Fosters.

Tasmanian devils! Quolls! Carnivores! Wait … what is a quoll? In what will become an instant-favorite new episode, Dasyurologist and Australian critter scientist Jarrah Dale joins from Down-Down Under to discuss his work at Oxford University studying the ecology of misunderstood boofy bush babes. Alie learns about everything from the Tasmanian landscape to Looney Toons to flim flam, karaoke shrieking, wallaby standoffs, the most Australian afternoon ever, Tim Tam slams, moms with the munchies, teat shortages, Tassie tumors that are shrinking populations, and more. Also: Jarrah has perhaps the best laugh ever.
