The number of Tasmanian devils left has dropped about 80 per cent in the last 20 years. Devils Cradle sanctuary managing director Wade Anthony says Tasmanian devils have to be protected. Four 1-year-old male Tasmanian devils have now been housed next to Orana's two elderly animals, including this now 7-year-old devil. One way Park visitors can directly assist is to purchase Tasmanian devil themed merchandise from our souvenir shop.
Proceeds are directed towards further researching the disease that is currently threatening the survival of these endangered marsupials. It is hoped four Tasmanian devils flown to New Zealand will educate more people about their plight. The ambassador devils, three females and one male, left Hobart on Thursday bound for the Wellington Zoo. The animals, aged one and two years old, are not needed for their genetic contribution in the Save the Devil breeding program.
David Pemberton from the devil program says they will instead be used to publicise the animal's fight against the deadly facial tumour disease. It is the second transfer of devils to an overseas zoo after four were sent to San Diego in the United States in October.
