Tasmanian devil at Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park, Melissa Krafchek

There are many ‘wildlife parks’ (read ‘zoos’) in Tasmania, most of which endeavour to help the wildlife in some way. Although it also has other exhibits, this park near Taranna on the west coast of the Tasman Peninsula has a particular focus on conserving Tasmanian devils and has been involved in the care then release into the wild of devils orphaned by the destructive facial tumour disease.
