Tasmanian devils, the carnivorous marsupials whose feisty, frenzied eating habits won the animals cartoon fame, have returned to mainland Australia for the first time in some 3,000 years. “Seeing those devils released into a wild landscape — it’s a really emotional moment,” said Liz Gabriel, director of conservation group Aussie Ark, which led the release effort in partnership with other conservation groups. Tasmanian devils, which were once called Sarcophilus satanicus or “Satanic flesh-lover," went extinct in mainland Australia before the arrival of Europeans.
