Tasmanian devils — with ‘eerie growls’ — make debut at California zoo. See them

Two endangered Tasmanian devil brothers have arrived at the San Diego Zoo in California, officials reported.

Flotsam and Jetsam are on public display in the zoo’s Australian Outback exhibits, zoo officials said in a Tuesday, July 22, news release.

They came to the zoo from Aussie Ark, an Australian conservation organization in New South Wales, officials said.

“The three-year-old brothers are doing well as they settle into their new surroundings,” zoo officials said in the release.

Tasmanian devils are carnivorous marsupials found only on the island of Tasmania off Australia.

“Known for their powerful jaws, eerie growls, and spirited behaviors, these nocturnal scavengers play a key role in their ecosystem by cleaning up carrion,” zoo officials said in the release.

They are considered endangered, mainly due to a facial tumor disease but also because of habitat loss, the zoo said.

Flotsam and Jetsam are most active in the early mornings and evenings, but can be observed napping and sunning in the afternoon, zoo officials said.

The 100-acre San Diego Zoo is home to 12,000 rare and endangered animals representing over 680 species and subspecies, officials said.
