What kind of PLANTS do Tasmanian Devils eat?
Tasmanian devils do not eat plants. They are completely carnivorous.
Do Tasmanian devils eat plants?
No. The natural instinct of Tasmanian devils is to be carnivorous. They are dasyurids, meaning they belong to the group of marsupials which are carnivorous. They eat live game up to the size of a wallaby, birds and reptiles, insects, and scavenge on carrion (the bodies of dead animals).

Can the Tasmanian devil be saved?
Yes. Scientists are breeding Tasmanian Devils in captivity to limit the spread of the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD). This disease is a great threat to Tasmanian devils living in the wild, affecting some two-thirds of the population. The Australian Government now has initiatives and programs set up to preserve the species. Tasmanian devils are being housed in captive breeding programmes, which should prevent the extinction of the marsupial, but not necessarily in the wild. In November 2012, healthy, disease-free Tasmanian devils were released on an island off the coast of Tasmania, and these animals are already breeding, showing great promise for the future of the Tasmanian devil. Regarding the progress of the disease itself, in January 2010, a team of international scientists pinpointed the genetic marker that predisposes Tasmanian devils towards this fatal disease. Further, cancer-curing properties of plants in northern rainforests of Australia show promise also. With this knowledge, there is now a better chance of a cure, which would also stop the disease decimating the wild Tasmanian devil population.
Biotic and abiotic factors of Tasmanian devils?
The abiotic factors of a Tasmanian devil include the rainfall in Tasmania, the amount of sunshine that is received and the wind patterns. The biotic factors include the types of plants that grow nearby and the animals that coexist, both as predators and prey.
What can humans do to help save Tasmanian devils?
From about 1996, the Tasmanian Devil has been threatened by a fatal form of cancer called "Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD)" which has killed more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 45% of adults in medium to low density areas resulting in an "Endangered" classification. Since then, the Threatened Species Scientific Advisory Committee has recommended moving the Tasmanian Devil up the "Endangered Species" list. A number of groups have combined to fund, study, analyse and come up with a cure for DFTD. You can find out more about it or assist by going to the attached Web Page and selecting one of the options.
What do you call a relationship that exists between the plants and animals?
Symbiotic relationships
What type of science does an ethnobotanist specialize in?
relationships between people and plants
The relationships between a community of plants and animals and their environment are known as a?
ecosystem
Show you examples of symbiotic relationships between plants and animals?
Plants and animals have important symbiotic relationships. These relationships are because insects pollinate the flowers and also eat the flowers nectar. This is a form of mutualism.
What plants are in the devil's postpile?
They have plants in devils postpile monument that are interested about the world.
What branch of science does ethnobotanist specialize?
Ethnobotonists study the relationships that exist between people and plants.
