Carers are honing search efforts to recover a two-year-old Tasmanian devil on the loose in a leafy Gold Coast suburb.

The devil, named Mary, has been missing for a week since breaching her enclosure with what wildlife park Paradise Country staff described as an "abnormally large leap", last Tuesday.

More than a dozen staff and specialists have spent the past week in a frantic search for the marsupial, bringing in sniffer dogs and thermal drone technology to pinpoint her location.

A breakthrough came Sunday night when Mary was spotted on a home security camera system about two kilometres from the park. 

University of Queensland captive animal expert Al Mucci said there were promising signs for Mary's survival. "The weather is on her side, she doesn't have to adjust too much at the moment, the biggest threat is humans, dogs and vehicles."

He said devils could travel about 10 kilometres in a night, but that would not be in a "straight line".

When you take your ipu pepa to be emptied, please leave your lid in your classroom.
