Tasmanian devils once roamed over mainland Australia. However, they have completely disappeared in the wild for over 3,000 years. This was due to the increase in the number of their enemies, dingoes, a type of native wild dog. Tasmanian devils were then confined to the island of Tasmania and only lived there ever since then.

The famous Hollywood star, Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky also joined the campaign and helped release them. Image Credit: Facebook/Aussie Ark “There is so much at stake here. We’ve done everything we can, but if the Devils don’t breed, it’s all over,” said Tim Faulkner, president of Aussie Ark.
