Tasmanian Devils Born on Australian Mainland for the 1st Time in 3,000 Years
May 30, 2021
It’s been 3,000 years since Tasmanian Devils have been born on the Australian mainland. They were wiped out due to being hunted by other animals and disease. Devils have since only lived on Tasmania, an island off the Australian coast, and have been on the United Nations’ ‘Red List’ of endangered animals since 2008. A conservation group called Aussie Ark released 26 Tasmanian Devils into the wilds of Australia in late 2020, and now there are 7 Tasmanian Devil babies, called joeys, to celebrate!
