Devil Diary

For the first time, DEVIL DIARY takes us behind the scenes of the world's largest Tasmanian Devil Sanctuary to observe the everyday dramas experienced by the park staff as they care for, and raise, Tasmanian Devils.
Filmed over eight months, DEVIL DIARY tells the story of how Trowunna Sanctuary owner and world expert, Androo Kelly, caretakes a devil called Kyla as her four young grow from tiny 1 inch babies into adults. Along the way, the park staff hand raise two of Kyla's babies who dominate both the lives and residence of their human parents. They even sleep on their bed.
With several scenes, never before filmed, this documentary showcases the amazing animal behaviour of

Tasmanian Devils and the variety of wonderwul ways that they interact with people.
It reveals the secret behind the success of the sanctuary, which every year breeds more devils than anywhere in the world. We witness how Androo communicates with the devils and gets them to change their behaviour through 'devil whispering'.
Contrary to the myth, Tasmanian devils can be affectionate towards prople and are one of the most responsive of all marsupials. As this film shows, each devil has a distinctive character, some just want to be cuddled by humans, while others are only interested in attacking - both humans and other devils!
