Aussie Animal Island S01E01 - Mission Maria Island

At the Save The Tasmanian Devil Program HQ in Hobart, wildlife vet Sarah Peck, Phil Wise and their team have hatched a plan to create an ‘insurance population' of disease-free Devils. They'll live wild on a remote island location away from contagion - Maria Island off Tasmania's east coast.

Meanwhile, a crack team of scientists and zoologists are putting Tasmanian Devils through a variety of tests to see if they have what it takes to fend for themselves in the wild. The chosen few will be transported to the island to start their new lives out of captivity.
