The bones of a juvenile wallaby crack open, & the Tasmanian Devil snuffles as he ravenously gorges on the scavenged roadkill.

Fear rushes over Delacour's Langur. Alone on the ground, away from his social group & far from the limestone cliff where he watches as sentry for predators, these unfamiliar sounds are terrifying.

Delacour's Langur shifts position assessing the situation...

sensing an intruder, Tasmanian Devil loud snorts then barks in ownership of his scavenged carcass!
