We are continuing the search to find Mary, the two-year-old female Tasmanian Devil who performed an abnormally large leap to exit her quarantine exhibit early Tuesday morning.
Since identifying Mary had breached her exhibit space, our team have swiftly and methodically conducted extensive targeted searches with experienced Wildlife teams, sniffer dog, thermal imagery drones and equipment, and humane animal capture devices deployed around the park and surrounding bushland to locate her.
We ask members of the community to report any sightings to Wildcare on 07 5527 2444 and to not approach or attempt to capture to avoid risk of injury to Mary or themselves.

Following an extensive overnight search, including a dozen of our experienced Wildlife team on-ground being supported by a specialised drone operator with thermal imagery capabilities, Mary the Tasmanian Devil was unable to be located following her disappearance from her enclosure at Paradise Country on Tuesday morning.
Our priority remains on relocating Mary to ensure her welfare, and we will continue to search the property and are investigating additional resources to assist finding her.
Paradise Country is an accredited zoological facility, with Mary and her companion Mavka arriving as part of a wider conservation initiative for Tasmanian Devils. The welfare of all the animals in our care is our highest priority, and our habitats are specifically designed to ensure the safety and security of each species, with incidents of this nature extremely rare.
We are continuing to work with relevant agencies but also ask members of the public in the Kopps Road area to report any sightings to Wildcare on 07 5527 2444 and to not approach or attempt to capture to avoid risk of injury to Mary or themselves.
