Great news! Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary devils have had two beautiful babies. Alunga gave birth to two male devils now happily riding on mum’s back!
Wildlife Keeper and Tasmanian Devil expert Sarah Mulhall says ‘Tassie Devils are very difficult to breed and we are extremely happy that we’ve had two consecutive years of reproduction.’ Our two young males are progressing very well.
Wildlife Manager Matt Hingley is particularly happy that the two new babies are males, as sires are very important to the success of future breeding programs.
And guess what! A naming competition is underway and along with Sarah Mulhall, I’ll be choosing the winning entries. Two winners will be drawn and you can win an annual pass to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary! How cool is THAT!
So put your thinking caps on and get those entries in! You can send them to greenguardian@cws.org.au – winners will be notified by December 19, 2008
