Two tasmanian devils relocated to Auckland Zoo
A couple of devils from Australia are making themselves right at home in Auckland Zoo after relocating from a wild life facility in Tasmania. The young sisters, who are waiting on their Palawa Kani aboriginal names, are here to raise awareness about the plight of endangered Tasmanian Devils, the world's largest carnivorous marsupials. Since the mid 90's they've been under attack from a nasty infectious disease. Auckland Zoo's lead carnivore keeper, Nick Parashchak told Lisa Owen the two sisters are finding their feet in their new home.
