I don’t want to hype this up too much, but...

I THINK THERE’S A TASMANIAN DEVIL LIVING UNDER THE HOUSE!!!

Update:

THERE IS A TASMANIAN DEVIL LIVING UNDER THE HOUSE!!!

Tasmanian devil as a Roommate -

Pros
- quiet & respectful
- adorable
- doesn’t have wild parties

Cons
- poops on the doorstep
- comes & goes at strange hours
- sometimes brings home his food...

PLOT TWIST!!

Our Tasmanian devil lodger is co-sharing with a wombat!!

Other species using wombat burrows is fairly common - wombats have large home ranges with multiple burrows, & will move around between them

Unlikely for a wombat to tolerate a devil using its burrow at the same time, but in this instance both species used it on different nights

Wombats have impressive bums, with tough cartilage plates

If something they don’t like chases them down a burrow, they use their hard bums to bash them against the roof

So that devil better watch out...

We have a new player in the Game of Burrows - AN EASTERN QUOLL!!

I realise now that probably would have been better as “Game of Dens”, but I was over-excited by the quoll...

For the record, the quoll also *literally* shat on the doorstep...

Last nights action -

A quoll drive-by & the devil returns!

Wombat returns to the mess made by devil & quoll - is not impressed...

Yoga on the doorstep - Tasmanian devil style

The pose = Downward Devil

When a Tasmanian devil & a wombat have a time-share on the same den, here are the camera trap highlights!
