As a child camping in Tasmania hearing the screams of these animals fighting over food miles away in the distance was something remarkable albeit incredibly terrifying, these guys are incredible little survivors and it’s great to see so may initiatives around Australia trying to preserve this Endangered animal

Okay, their little, hellish voices are adorable 😂🤣

This is why the "if not friend, why friend shaped" exists!
Those little creatures are SO cute!

Devils are a Keystone species in Tasmania but they also were important on the mainland until they died out about 3500 years ago. Not only do they clean up the dead animals in a forrest, while finding their meals they forage through the undergrowth and dead leaves. This accelerates leaf decay which can contribute to fire load reduction. There are many mammals in Australia that forage this way but none so ferocious in keeping their territories, this also has the effect of scaring off or attacking animals, mostly the introduced ones like foxes and feral cats. This has been found to allow other native species who are endangered to make a come back. If all goes as well as Aussie Ark has been, we may also have wild Mainland Devils again in the future 🙂

My research team works on DFTD! So nice to see these beautiful creatures getting recognition they deserve

[meggold]

My gosh, but they're a handful. Their own courting rituals are killing them off. I'm glad this sanctuary is helping them thrive again.

Dear Coyote and the Brave Wilderness team, thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I absolutely love your videos and I believe you guys to be the Steve Irwin for those who did not have the pleasure of growing up watching Steve and learning from him. People like you make my dreary days a bit brighter and I thank you for it. Be brave, stay wild, and I'll see you on the next adventure.

I’ve always thought they were adorable little guys, but I didn’t know the “Taz sounds” were based on noises they actually made. 🤣 Sandy was a very sweet little devil. 🥰🥹

[Jayess-c]

Such fierce lil guys. They seem so angry lol

[WolfRamAndHart]

There was a bit of implied sadness when Coyote mentioned the Thylacine at end. The Tasmanian Tiger, or Tasmanian Wolf, which looked like a dog, except definitely a marsupial. Through voracious hunting by humans, and even a "pelt" incentive given by the Australian government, even though only primarily ate carrion, they were made extinct only about 90 years ago, the last not just of their species, but the entire Order of Thylacine. The Tassie Devil is the closest living relative to them.

[ShayyButter]

[DravenGal]

So great to see my childhood YouTuber posting.

"you always keep the meat between you and the devil"

badass

[ALXCHTZ]

They seem like cats if they got run over by cars but in reality they are kind of like rats always going nuts 😅

[sarcoboiv]

They’re my favorite animals honestly. They’re easily misunderstood for one reason or another, but once you learn about them, they’re pretty cool 😎
