<\/p>\nThe San Diego Zoo has welcomed two male Tasmanian devil brothers, Jetsam and Flotsam, the zoo announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The 3-year-olds are settling into the zoo\u2019s Australian Outback, near Sydney\u2019s Shoppe, after previously being under the care of Aussie Ark, a leading conservation organization.<\/p>\n
Jetsam and Flotsam are most active in the early mornings and in the evenings during the zoo\u2019s nighttime hours. Guests curious for a closer look at the devils can also see them napping and sunning in the mid-afternoon.<\/p>\n

The San Diego Zoo is one of few zoos in the U.S. that cares for the species, according to its website<\/a>, contributing to education and conservation efforts for the marsupials since the 1950s.<\/p>\n Tasmanian devils, native to the island of Tasmania, are endangered due to disease, resource competition and human-wildlife coexistence. The devil population has declined by nearly 85%<\/a> since the late 1990s, according to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.<\/p>\n The primary factor for the decline is Devil Facial Tumor Disease, an infectious cancer that is almost 100% fatal. The infectious condition has spread widely across native populations, the zoo said.<\/p>\n
