What howls and chews through bones? A Tasmanian [taz-may-nee-yan] Devil!

This critter once lived in Australia [aws-tray-lee-ah]. It almost died out. Now eleven devils are in a wildlife park. People want more to come.

Hot, dry weather and enemy dingoes forced the devils to move to Tasmania. Then many got a cancer that killed them. Aussie Ark wanted to protect these animals. Workers raised cancer-free devils on Tasmania. Now they slowly move some back to Australia. Proverbs 27:23 reminds us, “Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds.”
