Do Tasmanian devils need special protection or adaptations for their environment?

All organisms need certain protection and/or adaptations for their environment, and the Tasmanian devil is no different. These animals occupy a very unique niche in their environment, and thus they are assisted by numerous adaptations.
- The most noticeable adaptation of Tasmanian devils is its excellent senses. It will use its strong sense of smell to locate carrion during the day, but especially at night.
- The Tasmanian devil is nocturnal, and an animal that prefers dense bushland shelter. Its black coat with white stripe provides excellent camouflage in both the night, and in dense bushland and undergrowth.
- Tasmanian devils can also emit a pungent odor as a defence mechanism when threatened.
- It has a frightening devil-like shriek, enough to scare away a curious predator, even though this noise is usually emitted during territorial fights, rather than as a defence.
- The Tasmanian devil is a scavenger, eating dead animals already killed by other animals, and on roadkill. There are no dingoes on the island of Tasmania, so the Tasmanian devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial on Tasmania. Devils also hunt live prey.
