Hey, even Tasmanian devils deserve a smartphone … as a treat.
9 News reports a fuzzy little monster stole a woman’s phone practically out of her hands and then played an intense game of keep-away with staff.
The incident happened at Australia’s Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary when Jacqui Frazer bent over the barrier to snap an up close photo of a Tasmanian devil. Well, the critter jumped up and Jacqui spooked — so she dropped her phone.
The animal picked up the iPhone and ran around the enclosure to show off its cool prize. It took wildlife keepers several minutes to get it back. The devil ran into its den and began popping in and out like one extraordinary game of peek-a-boo.
The staff got the devil to release the phone after placating it with a cool stick, which it happily sunk its teeth into.
Jacqui was given her phone back, which now has several new bite marks. Hopefully she learned her lesson that barriers are put up for a pretty good reason.
