When we think of Tassie wildlife, one animal seems to spring to mind before all others-the iconic Tasmanian devil. And while these playful (if occasionally feisty) marsupials are indeed impressive to behold, the truth is that there is a rich diversity of animal species here, many of which can be found within wildlife parks, wildlife sanctuaries and zoos throughout the state. Here are our top five best Tassie wildlife experiences for where best to experience these stunning and unique creatures.
Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary
‘Bonorong’ derives from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘native companion’-and there are certainly plenty of those on offer here, including Tasmanian devils, koalas, wombats, native birds, echidnas, emus and quolls.
