  • A keeper feeding devils at Trowunna Wildlife park in Mole Creek, North-West Tasmania. There are several wildlife sanctuaries in Tasmania who work to ensure the continuing existence of the Tasmanian devil, they have breeding programs and exchange programs with national and international zoos. The devil is a very popular animal and the recently Tasmania has made it the official state icon. Locals and interstate travellers visit the parks to see this species which would be almost impossible to guarantee a sighting in the wild.

  • University of Tasmania Phd researcher Manuel Ruiz prepares serum samples after a day of devil trapping and check ups. Serum from both healthy and diseased devils are analysed for unique anti-bodies which might help with vaccine production.

Great care must be taken when working with the devil as it has the greatest bite force per kilogram of any mammal.
