Tasmanian devils are dying on roads at night, and a tour teaches drivers how to help protect them.
At Tasmania’s Devils@Cradle facility, the After Dark Feeding Tour shows visitors Tasmanian devils like Squizz scavenging roadkill, a behavior that reveals both their natural instincts and a major threat to their survival.
Guided by keeper Pru Carpenter, guests learn that the devils’ eerie calls, once thought demonic, are harmless vocalizations.
With around 350 to 450 devils killed on roads each year—especially at night due to their dark fur—roadkill is now the leading cause of death after Devil Facial Tumour Disease.
Tour participants receive gloves and are encouraged to safely move roadkill to the roadside to prevent further deaths.
The tour stresses driving no faster than 40km/h between dusk and dawn to improve visibility and avoid collisions, promoting responsible driving to protect these endangered animals.
