Tasmanian devils are iconic but endangered, so their arrival isn’t just a fun zoo update—it’s part of a bigger effort to protect the species. Plus, their quirky personalities (and notorious table manners) might just make them the zoo’s next star attractions. Who wouldn’t want to see a real-life Taz in action?

<p>The Los Angeles Zoo has welcomed two Tasmanian devils via the Aussie government. It's the first time the zoo has had devils in five years.</p>

The L.A. Zoo just got a little wilder with two new Tasmanian devils named Danny Zuko and Crush—yes, like the Grease character and the sea turtle from Finding Nemo. These feisty little marsupials, known for their powerful bites and messy eating habits, are the first devils the zoo has housed in five years, thanks to a collaboration with the Australian government.
