00:19 There's multiple challenges in trapping and translocating northern hairy-nosed wombats from one site to the other.
00:25 Obviously, they're nocturnal, so we're having to be up all night trapping these guys to get enough to establish a population down at Power Runner State Forest.
00:34 And it's also the challenge of transporting them.
00:36 So, a large animal like that, we can't transport many of them, so probably about four a night is the max that we can do.
