Tasmanian Devils of The Tarkine

The Tarkine is an important habitat for the Tasmanian Devil, particularly now that an epidemic of viral cancer has hit some populations particularly in Eastern Tasmania.

It is good news that the local Tasmanian Devils in the Tarkine continue to be healthy and unaffected by the disease.

Devils are cute and pretty timid. To get a good look at one of them, I recommend that you book yourself on the Kingsrun Devil Tour.

In the meantime I think you should check out this very dramatic video I found on youtube. It’s more like a horror movie trailer – The Bite of The Devil.
