road signWe saw these at the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo, where they were the only captive creatures, kept as a part of a conservation project. All the other animals were wild and free, but attracted to the grounds by being fed occasionally.

These two were young brothers; when fed road-kill pademelons they chased each other vigorously for the meat and then crunched noisily through the bones. Considering they were captive, they were difficult to photograph, being either in deep shade sheltering from the strong sun or running fast towards me.

No, they don't have devil-wings, but all the road signs do!
