Quote:I'm surprised you still have wild devils? I thought they were almost going extinct in the wild due to some weird facial cancer?

Yes we still have devils. Because it was a rare 'transmissible cancer' it got global scientific attention. As a result there were good strategies to save the species. I saw a guy in the supermarket car park with animal traps in the back of his pick-up (we call them utes). He told me the government pays him to trap feral cats and he releases a lot of devils and quolls.

I see wedged-tailed eagles and other raptors. I hear owls a lot but never see them. I think they indicate the ecosystem is healthy.
