The zoo announced on Tuesday that the brothers have settled into the Australian Outback exhibit near Sydney\u2019s Shoppe. Previously, they were under the care of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aussieark.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Aussie Ark<\/a>, a conservation organization in New South Wales, Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Tasmanian devils, known for their powerful jaws and distinctive vocalizations, are native to the island of Tasmania. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by consuming carrion. Unfortunately, their populations have been severely impacted by Devil Facial Tumor Disease, a contagious cancer that has decimated their numbers in the wild. <\/p>\n<p>The arrival of Jetsam and Flotsam is part of a broader conservation effort to protect the species. The San Diego Zoo, in collaboration with organizations like Aussie Ark, is working to raise awareness and support for the Tasmanian devils&#8217; survival through research, breeding, and habitat protection. <\/p>\n<p>Zoo visitors can see the devils during their most active hours in the early morning and evening as part of the Nighttime Zoo experience.
