Wild and free Draco, a three-year-old wild Tasmanian devil, being released from his trap in Narawntapu National Park, Tasmania. This mark-recapture study is part of the Tasmanian government’s Save the Tasmanian Devil Program annual monitoring. Healthy and tumour-free, his return to the bush represents a hope for this endangered species.
