A Gold Coast wildlife park has released CCTV footage of a missing Tasmanian devil named Mary, who made a daring escape in the early hours of the morning. The footage from Paradise Country captures the carnivorous marsupial skulking around the deserted grounds at 4am, before she swiftly scampered out of the frame.
Search Efforts Underway
As of Wednesday afternoon, Mary remains missing despite extensive efforts by the park's wildlife team. A dozen staff members have been scouring the area, aided by a drone operator equipped with thermal imagery capabilities. The search continues as the team hopes to locate the elusive devil.
Background on Mary
Mary, a Tasmanian devil, is part of a conservation program at Paradise Country. These marsupials are classified as endangered, making her escape a significant concern for the park. The footage provides clues to her whereabouts, but her current location remains unknown.
The park is urging the public to report any sightings but advises against approaching the animal, as Tasmanian devils, though typically shy, can be defensive when cornered.
