Tassie Devils heading to Australia Zoo
Nov 15, 2007

One of Australia's best-known zoos is joining the fight to save the Tasmanian Devil.
Australia Zoo, made famous by Steve Irwin, is building an enclosure to breed devils free of the facial tumour disease which is killing them in Tasmania .
Curator Kelsey Mostyn says the zoo's high profile will help raise awareness of the disease.
"Through our guest visitations and our other means of getting our conservation message out there, we'll raise the profile and bring the plight of the tassie devil to the world and hopefully battle that all together and save this remarkable animal," he said.
