We’ve had a few devil captures on the #CameraTrap recently. Here’s a nice one from last night. This is about 50m from our house 😈 🧪🌿

#CameraTrap video 6/6 is an almost identical video of a Tasmanian devil heading in the same direction, down the hill. Maybe the same devil. This one has read the manual that says devils are most active at around midnight 😈

#CameraTrap video 5/6 is a Tasmanian devil passing the same spot a few days later. Sarcophilus harrisii is an Endangered species facing threats including Devil Facial Tumour Diseases, habitat loss and road danger. Very happy to see them hanging on here 😈

#CameraTrap video 3/6 is more spotted tailed quoll. Dasyurus maculatus seems to prefer wet forest: this camera is located in a patch of undisturbed wet eucalypt forest in NW #Tasmania #Lutruwita.

Quoll AND devil alert! I’ve got better phone reception so can upload #CameraTrap videos. Video 1/6 is a spotted tailed quoll. Dasyurus maculatus is listed as Near Threatened by IUCN Red list and in Australia the population in #Tasmania #Lutruwita is Vulnerable #marsupial #WildOz #quollity
