(FOX NEWS) – For the first time in more than 3,000 years, Tasmanian devils have been born in the wild of the Australian mainland.
In a Facebook post earlier this week, New South Wales’ Barrington Tops Aussie Ark wildlife sanctuary announced the historic births.
“The wilds of mainland Australia are experiencing a special kind of baby boom—one that hasn’t happened here in more than 3,000 years. WildArk, in partnership with Aussie Ark and Re:wild, are celebrating the birth of 7 Tasmanian Devil joeys born into Aussie Ark’s 400 hectare Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary,” the sanctuary wrote, noting that its team had been working to establish a sustainable population for the better part of a decade.
