A Tasmanian satan has gone toe-to-toe with wildlife keepers after the marsupial mistook a customer’s telephone for a chew toy.
Jacqui Frazer was at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary on Thursday afternoon when she visited the satan’s enclosure for a photograph.
Frazer had leant over the barrier, when the satan jumped up at her, which induced her to drop her iPhone.
It took the wildlife keepers about 5 minutes to get it again, because the animal went out and in of its den.
The keepers ultimately ended up substituting a stick into the satan’s mouth for the telephone.

The telephone has been returned to its rightful proprietor, nevertheless the machine has a number of chunk marks to function a reminder of Frazer’s eventful day trip.
