There really is a Tasmanian Devil


Hobart Tasmania  2/18/13


Tasmanian Devil
Today found us in the home of the Tasmanian Devil.  I got to see one at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.  They are cute but very vicious.  They have lots of them there because they are trying to protect and breed them so they don’t go extinct.  They have already lost the Tasmanian tiger. 
 
 
 
 
 
 




feeding a kangaroo
We got to feed tons of kangaroos.  They are very soft.  They eat right out of your hand.  They like being scratched on their chest.  I even saw some joeys in their moms pouches and fed some. 


 
 
 
 
 
Bert the koala
We also saw a Koala named Bert.  After everyone else walked away we got to pet him and take a closeup photo with him.  He was not as soft as you would think they would be.  He fur was  pointy like when you have a bad hair day.  It wasn’t soft- mom says it’s called wiry.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When we got back to town I got to go on a Segway for a few minutes.  The man was just starting his business and let me have a few minutes to try it in the parking lot.  It is crazy to control that thing.  You stop it by leaning back.  It was a lot of fun!!!
