'Unstable' Tasmanian Devil Found After 15 Days on the Run
Wildlife crews found the two-year-old devil in bushland after a fortnight-long search, and veterinarians are treating her unstable condition.
- On Tuesday night, searchers located Mary, a Tasmanian devil, in bushland off Kopps Road on the Gold Coast, more than two weeks after she escaped her enclosure at Paradise Country.
- Paradise Country staff reported the escape occurred on June 2, with the marsupial believed to have made an "abnormally large leap" to clear her enclosure during the early morning hours.
- A dozen wildlife experts backed by sniffer dogs and thermal-imaging drones conducted the search, eventually tracking Mary to bushland less than 2km from the park.
- Upon discovery, Mary was in an "unstable condition" and required immediate veterinary care; she is now stable at a specialist hospital undergoing diagnostic testing.
- Tasmanian devils have been extinct on the Australian mainland for more than 3,000 years and remain endangered, facing significant threats from Devil Facial Tumour Disease, a transmissible cancer.
