When Purinina's mother does not return to the cave, what will happen to her and her brothers? Will the creature with two legs and a light for an eye hurt them?
Follow the life cycle of one of Australia's most unique creatures, the Tasmania Devil, or purinina (it's proper name) from birth to adult hood. A poetic journey to help everyone take a closer look at this amazing creature that is currently endangered.
