Description
A peak into Tasmanian devils den in Wildlife sanctuary in Sydney. You have to get on the floor and peak through the glass , and there were, comfy and relaxed.
The Tasmanian devil is endangered and the species' biggest threat is Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD). Since the first cases were spotted in the mid-1990s, the wild devil population has been decimated by this fatal cancer, which is spread through biting and scratching. More than 95% of the population in certain areas has been wiped out by DFTD and the Tasmanian devil is facing the very real threat of extinction in the wild.
I hope we can safe them, this is just so sad !!!
