Tasmanian Devil Keeper Talk at Taronga Zoo Sydney

Join Hayden and Keeper Tony as they give you an insight into the world's largest carnivorous marsupial our very own Tasmanian Devil!

Unfortunately, in the wild, this species is doing it extremely tough due to a very vicious facial cancer which has caused a rapid decline in their numbers. Here at Taronga, we have combined forces with other wildlife organisations across Australia to help eradicate and breed disease-free devils as an insurance population.

I'm glad they opened up the Tasmanian devil facility again. That's one of my favourite exhibits at Taronga.
