Key Points:
- A 2-year-old female Tasmanian devil named Mary has gone missing from her quarantine enclosure at Paradise Country Wildlife Park on Queensland's Gold Coast.
- Mary was last seen on surveillance footage running across the grounds hours before her absence was noticed, despite being housed in an indoor enclosure with a small outdoor area.
- Mary and a companion were recently transferred from a New South Wales zoo less than two weeks ago.
- Wildlife specialists, including sniffer dogs and a thermal-imaging drone, have been searching for Mary for two nights without success.
- Park officials describe Mary's escape as unusual and warn the public not to approach her due to the Tasmanian devil's powerful bite.
