What eats a Tasmanian devil?

Answer 1

The Tasmanian Devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial in Tasmania. Being at the top of the food chain, the Tasmanian devil has no native predators. Birds of Prey are some danger to young Tasmanian Devils, but given that these creatures spend most of their time in dense bushland, there is little opportunity for hawks or kites to carry off young Tasmanian devils.

Introduced foxes (an unfortunate recent addition to Tasmania) and feral dogs may have a go at younger Devils, but are not considered a major threat.

Answer 2

Being the top of the food chain, and a carnivorous marsupial, no other animal lives with the Tasmanian devil.

Prior to 1936, the Tasmanian Devil and Thylacine (also known as the Tasmanian Tiger) co-existed in the same habitats. The Thylacine is now believed to be extinct.

Tasmanian devils live in thick bushland or temperate forests in Tasmania, as long as there is sufficient undergrowth for them to hide. Animals which may share this biome but not live with the Tasmanian devil include wombats, quolls, bandicoots, possums, pademelons and bettongs.

Answer 3

There are few natural predators of the Tasmanian kangaroo, better known as the Tasmanian Forester Kangaroo.

The Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, was a predator prior to its extinction. Smaller joeys may become victims of goannas, as well as introduced foxes and feral cats. the Tasmanian devil is not a threat to the Tasmanian Forester kangaroo.

Answer 4

Being a dasyurid, or carnivorous marsupial, the Tasmanian Devil is at the top of the food chain. The Tasmanian devil feeds on smaller mammals, which in turn feed on vegetation. The Tasmanian devil also feeds on birds, eggs, lizards and even sets.

Answer 5

The Tasmanian Devil eats insects, mammals up to the size of a wombat, and carrion.

Answer 6

Answer 7

The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae.

Answer 8

Answer 9
