Tasmanian devil husbandry course
Zoo keepers from around the world are coming to Trowunna Wildlife Park in Tasmania for hands-on training in Tasmanian devil husbandry.
The program is an accredited Certificate 4 course in its fourth year and covers handling techniques and vital information for keeping sometimes-nervous devils as stress-free as possible.
Nathan Halbertstadt from Indiana USA comes from the last zoo in north America to have a live devil: Fort Wayne Childrens Zoo. More keepers from both Australia and overseas are expected to attend the course in future in anticipation of growth in the Insurance Population breeding program.
