The Tasmanian devil shelters in dense undergrowth and bushland. They tend to shelter wherever they can, such as in thick shrubbery, caves, hollow logs and even old wombat burrows.

Why do Tasmanian devils live in logs?
Tasmanian devils do not only live in logs. They also live in caves, bushes and old wombat burrows. They live in these because they are ideal hiding places. Further, when Tasmanain devil joeys grow too large for the pouch, the female needs a safe den to transfer the joeys to.

Why does a red fox sleep in a den?
A red fox sleeps in a den for safety and shelter.
Do Tasmanian Devils carry their babies in a pouch?
Yes. Tasmanian devils are marsupials, and the females have a pouch in which the young are carried for around 100 days, or just over three months. The pouch faces backwards, like that of the wombat, so it does not get filled with dirt while the animal is digging.
When did the Tasmanian Devil become endangered?
The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) was hunted almost to extinction due to its threat to livestock such as sheep and poultry. They were protected by law before it was too late in June 1941 from where their numbers recovered sufficiently for them to be classified as "secure". During the 1990s, they were listed as "vulnerable". More recently, they are 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. The Threatened Species Scientific Advisory Committee recommended moving the Tasmanian Devil up the "Endangered Species" list. It was officially listed as "endangered" in May 2008. 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.

Why has the Tasmanian devil lost its existence?
Presumably, this question is asking why the Tasmanian devil is extinct.It isn't.The Tasmanian devil has only recently been added to the endangered species list. The Tasmanian Devil is endangered for a number of reasons, and one of them is because the farmers believed that it ate large numbers of livestock and poultry, and used to hunt it. (This is also why the Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger died out.)Other reasons include that they are often hit by cars as they feed on other road-killed animals. Some of the Tasmanian devils have been placed in protective captivity so humans and/or other animals cannot kill or hurt them.Devil Facial Tumour Disease is rife at present and is another reason for keeping them in captivity. DFTD causes facial lesions which increase in size until the Tasmanian devil can no longer eat, and becomes susceptible to infections. DFTD has killed more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 45% of adults in medium to low density areas. At present, no Devils are being taken into captivity with existing captive animals in the hope that the current captive ones will be kept safe from the spread of this disease. The disease spreads through biting - and this is very common in Devils as they are natural fighters, battling tooth and claw for every morsel of food. Only the western third of Tasmania is currently free of the disease. 60% of the state is affected.Currently there is no cure for the disease, and scientists estimate that unless the disease can be stopped in some way, Tasmanian Devils will be extinct within two decades. The Devils seem to be particularly vulnerable to this because of their genetic makeup: they have particularly low levels of genetic diversity and a chromosomal mutation which is unique among carnivorous mammals. It is hoped that, by studying this genetic makeup, scientists will be able to develop a vaccine and/or cure.The recent introduction of foxes to Tasmania has also had an impact on Tasmanian devils. As the Devil numbers decrease, fox numbers are increasing. These introduced animals hunt and eat young Devils, and if the Devil numbers drop too low then there is little hope that the population will ever recover - those remaining will be destroyed by the foxes.
