Tasmanian Devil: The Fearsome Marsupial

The Tasmanian devil, native to Australia’s Tasmania, is a small but mighty marsupial known for its loud screeches and strong jaws. Despite its fierce reputation, it is a shy and solitary animal that plays a vital role as a scavenger in its ecosystem. At the zoo, Tasmanian devils are provided with rocky enclosures and plenty of hiding spots to mimic their natural environment. Visitors can watch them during feeding times, where their powerful bite is on full display. Educational programs highlight the conservation efforts to save these unique creatures from the threat of a deadly facial tumor disease, which has decimated their wild populations.
