What the devil is that?
Spine-chilling screeches, coughs and growls, a black and white coat, red ears, wide red mouth and broad white teeth were frightening enough to give rise to the name Tasmanian ‘Devil’.
Boral Youth @ the Zoo
Boral Youth At The Zoo (YATZ) is a fun, educational program for 13 - 19 year olds, held at Taronga and Western Plains Zoo. Teens participate in a variety of activities both inside and outside of the zoo, during weekends and school holiday periods.
