How does the environment support the Tasmanian devils?

Answer 1

The Tasmanian devil is ideally suited to its environment, which supports it in a number of ways. The Tasmanian devil is a scavenger, eating dead animals already killed by other animals, and feeding 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.

Because it is nocturnal, and prefers dense bushland shelter, its black coat with white stripe provides excellent camouflage in both the night, and in dense bushland and undergrowth. The Tasmanian devil's environment provides it with many opportunities to hide, as it sheets under bushes, in hollow logs, caves and even old wombat burrows.
