The reintroduction of Tasmanian devils marks a significant step in the conservation efforts for these endangered creatures.đ§
Tasmanian devils were once native to mainland Australia but became extinct 3,000 years ago due to high predation. These endangered species now live on the island of Tasmania.
In 2020, a group Aussie Ark, together with actor Chris Hemsworth and his wife, started a project to return Tasmanian devils to their original habitat. The group has invested considerable time, effort, and resources into the initiative in hopes of a successful implementation.
The project has since ended, and the Tasmanian devils have been brought back to their natural habitat. Seven healthy babies have been born in the forests of Australia and are being closely watched by rangers.
The number of Tasmanian devils is expected to reach 20 by the end of this year, with hopes of 40 babies in the next two years. Despite their cute look, these unique creatures have a strong bite and are about the size of a small dog. The success of this project is a promising increase in the preservation of endangered species.
