Trowunna Wildlife Park (Mole Creek TAS - 01/01/2010)

The Wallabies in the wildlife park are used to people and you can feed them, sit close to them and even touch them. This one here liked to be scratched on the neck.

During our visit in the park we attended a wombat & tasmanian devil tour which was great.
Below you see a small baby wombat of 7 months.


And here we are with his slightly :-) bigger friend. This one is 2 years old and around 15 kilo.

The famous Tasmanian Devil has the size of a small dog and he is stocky and very muscular.
It is characterized by its black fur, pungent odour when stressed, extremely loud and disturbing screech, and ferocity when feeding.
