The snow which has coated parts of the Barrington Tops region will make work for Aussie Ark rangers a little colder, but that won't stop them from providing continual care to some of Australia's most endangered species.
"It took me little longer than expected to get to work this morning, but it was a sight! The devils were out and about exploring the snow - it was a really incredible day to be at work," said Aussie Ark's Dean Reid.
Located high in the heart of the Barrington Tops in NSW at about 1350 metres above sea level, Aussie Ark is not foreign to this change of temperature.
The animals living at Aussie Ark, especially the Tassie devils, are feeling right at home.
"The cold doesn't really bother most of the animals, for devils and Eastern Quolls it's just like a slice of Tasmania," Dean said.
With breeding season just passed, the team at Aussie Ark said that the young joeys born at Aussie Ark are keeping warm and safe in pouches.
