The "Tasmanian Devil" returns to Australia after an absence of 3 thousand years

 Animals of the Tasmanian Devil that ceased to exist on the Australian mainland 3,000 years ago are returning to nature in Australia as part of an ambitious project to protect this type of echinacea.

A coalition of environmental societies noted that 7 of these carnivorous mammals were born in a 400-hectare shelter in Barrington Tops, three and a half hours north of Sydney.

In this enclosure to protect the animals from various threats such as disease or traffic, 26 adult Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) were reintroduced about a year ago following a process described as "historic".

The aim of this conservation program is to create a protected group of these threatened animals on the island of Tasmania due to one of the dangerous forms of an infectious cancerous disease, according to "Monte Carlo".

"Once these animals were released into nature, the situation was related to the behavior that they would pursue, and that was stressful on the nervous level," said Tim Faulkner, president of AussieArc, one of these associations.

"We had to watch from afar until we could go in and get confirmation of the birth of the first babies in nature ... What a moment!"

Specialists were able to check the female's pockets and note that the young are "in excellent health", with further checks to take place in the coming weeks.

The numbers of these animals have decreased by 85% since 1996 due to an almost completely fatal cancerous disease that afflicts them and now threatens them with extinction. Very when mating or spanking.

It is estimated that there are currently 25,000 animals from the "Tasmanian Devil" species in nature, compared to 150,000 before the outbreak of this disease.

In mainland Australia, this animal probably no longer had any traces of 3,000 years ago.
