Does the Tasmanian Devil live in a cave?

Answer 1

Yes and no. Holes in the ground, such as old wombat burrows, are ideal hiding places for nocturnal animals to shelter in during the day. However, the Tasmanian devil is also known to shelter in caves and amid the dense understorey of vegetation in their habitat.

Answer 2

Yes. However, although Tasmanian devils can dig burrows, they do not burrow deeply underground. They will occupy old wombat burrows and hollow logs, but when they dig, their den or burrow is just deep enough to allow them to feed on subterranean prey.

Answer 3

Tasmanian devils do not live in the desert. They need to be able to hide in undergrowth, and the desert does not allow for this. When Tasmanian devils roamed the mainland of Australia, fossil evidence indicates they tended to stay in areas of bushland.

Now, Tasmanian devils only live in Tasmania, and Tasmania is largely temperate rainforest and dense native bushland or scrubland.

Answer 4

Some Tasmanian devils live in caves. Tasmanian devils are not restricted to just caves, however. They also shelter within bushes, old wombat burrows or hollow logs within their habitat of coastal scrub and bushland.

Answer 5

Yes. Tasmanian devils live in the bushland and wilderness of Tasmania.
