Devils at Cradle

Overview

While Tassie devils sound fearsome, these shy critters are not aggressive or devilish — although they do have mean chompers they'll display when threatened. You can get to know this misunderstood and now endangered species (as well as their quoll cousins) when visiting Devils at Cradle sanctuary in the stunning wilderness of Tasmania's Cradle Mountain.

Devils are nocturnal carnivores, so a nighttime feeding tour is a great way to see them at their most active while learning about their biology, behaviour and the threats they face in the wild.
