Roadkill: It’s What’s for Dinner!

Tasmania is a large island (and state) off the south-east coast of Australia. And that’s where Tasmanian Devils live. (Who knew?) These carnivores are about the size of a small dog. And yes, they are pretty tough and mean…that’s why they’re called devils. At meal time is when these tough beasties really show their devilishness.

For example, Tazmanian Devils LOVE to eat roadkill. But zookeepers at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo can’t collect roadkill year-round. So instead, they have a FAKE dead kangaroo, and they stick meat inside of it. And as you can see, this doesn’t put the Tasmanian devils off a bit!
