    Devils and quolls, but no tigers

    September 22, 2016 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    Natureworld was great! They rescue wounded animals and try to breed extras of the endangered animals too. There was a Tasmanian Devil who was used to pillows and blankets cos a rescuer let him! We all loved seeing the devils up close. Pretty special!

    We learned lots of facts and even saw examples of their poo! Tassie devils eat a LOT of meat. They eat even the bones and fur of the animals they catch, and are NOT good at sharing. We saw 3 sister devils fighting over a wallaby tail! Yuk. Devils have great smell and can smell food or animals 2kilometres away, and even tell if the animals are boys, girls or how old by their smell. They can hardly see! The girl devils have 30 babies at a time but can only look after 4, so that sounds a bit tough for the others!

    We loved the spotted tail Quoll who was called Aurora. She is a predator too. Cute but fierce!
