Devil Ark - Giving hope to the endangered Tasmanian devil
Devil Ark is a Tasmanian devil breeding facility in the NSW Barrington Tops that is currently home to around 170 Tasmanian devils. Founder John Weigel, also owner of the Australian Reptile Park, built Devil Ark in 2010 to house large numbers of Tassie devils living in natural conditions.
Wow, that is a great idea, I know of the devils plight, such a terrible thing. I had heard of an island where healthy devils had been re-located which is working but not this. Very nice collage of a wonderful animal that hopefully a cure can be found for this very terrible disease!
@dianeburns they are gorgeous little animals - they don't think a cure is likely so they are breeding healthy devils to be reintroduced when they become extinct - it is very sad but hopefully will be a success
What fantastic little creatures! Thanks for sharing Annie, I believe we are getting or have just got some at Auckland Zoo, I can't wait to go and see them :)
Great collage Annie,you have some fantastic shot's there.
To me these creatures are so evil looking,but that's just my opinion,I don't understand why they always run around in circles,lol.....
Just look at those teeth!
Well done Annie!
