The afternoon gave us the opportunity to see the Tasmanian Zoo and Reserve thanks to our guide "Westy". Remember all those tourists you see or hear about in Yellowstone Park who try and get close to the Buffalo? And you sit and think... why are people so stupid. Today it was me. The stupid tourist from Montana. I got my first glimpse at a Tasmanian Devil which was inside an enclosure about 3 feet high. You could literally bend over and pull the grass. Those little guys looked so cute so why not try and pet it right? It nearly ate my hand and my camera. Everyone got a good laugh while I counted my fingers. It was after this I noticed the large sign posted 5 feet behind me. I'm telling you people... these things are flipping cute but nasty.
A zoo keeper came out and fed a group of them. They had so much strength they nearly pulled the keeper off his feet. You could hear there jaws crunching through the bones of the animal legs.
The Kangaroos were much friendlier.
