Post 291 Cradle Mountain – Devils@Cradle

A sanctuary set up for the breeding of Devils to help have a group of devils free from facial tumour.
We booked a night feeding tour. Well its not exactly night at 5:30.

Feeding the devils - isn't this what we paid for?

I didn't realise what good climbers the young devils are.

Although this fellow was a little unsure about getting back down.

Yes they have a breeding program for quolls as well. The quolls are released back into the wild.
This fellow looks like he is just coming out for the evening.

They fed the quolls while we were there as well.

The Easter Quolls come in dark and light colouring just like our hair colouration. The gene for the dark ones is recessive so only 1 in 4 is dark.
