They might sound scary, but Tasmanian Devils are actually shy creatures which more commonly scavenge dead animals than kill their own prey. The Tasmanian Devil can consume an entire animal including bones, fur and scales.
They can consume more than 10% of their body weight in one meal!
Tassie Devils used to roam the mainland, however can now only be found in the wilds on of Tasmania. 90% of the Tasmanian Devil population has been wiped out by the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD).
For over 15 years, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary has been part of a breeding program to help save these marsupials from extinction in the wile. As part of this vital conservation effort, the Sanctuary has successfully bred 9 Tasmanian Devils.
We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the greater Yugambeh language region, the Country on which Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Hospital are situated today. We recognise their continuing connections to the land, sky, waters (waterways), and wildlife. We thank them for caring for this Country and its ecosystems.
We celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and we pay our respect to Elders past and present.
