00:00I didn't think that one minute after arriving, I'd be jumping into an enclosure full of devils,
00:08but here we go.
00:10A Tasmanian devil is such a unique Australian animal.
00:14It's the largest carnivorous marsupial left in the world.
00:17They're called the vacuum cleaners of the bush.
00:19They just eat up all the dead and rotten meat and they keep the ecosystem really clean.
00:25They look like these stocky little animals.
00:27They look across between a cat, dog and a wombat.
00:30Really unusual animals and they're such a feisty little creature.
00:35So how did Aussie Ark start?
00:36We started what was originally Devil Ark and then in recent years we've turned it into
00:41Aussie Ark and we've brought on more species to conserve.
00:44So every single species here that falls under Aussie Ark now are all facing really bad threats
00:50in the wild.
