Tasmanian devil encounter in Hobart

In a protected area around Hobart you watch the Tasmanian devil in a setting close to its natural one. The growl and powerful jaw of this small dark animal are more striking than its looks suggest. A guide or keeper explains that the species is under threat and why it is protected.

It can be cool in Tasmania, so dress in layers. The animals tend to be livelier toward evening, which makes those hours better for watching. Speak quietly, as they can be easily startled.
