The European settlers hunted the Tasmanian devil because they perceived the animal to be a threat to their livestock and poultry.
The Tasmanian devil is a native Australian species, protected by law. Because of this, humans are not permitted to hunt or hurt them. Having said that, however, humans still engage in behaviour which threatens the Tasmanian devil. habitat loss through land-clearing is still a problem for the Tasmanian devil. In addition, as they feed on road kill, they are frequently hit by cars themselves.
There is no "co-animal" for the Tasmanian devil. It is a solitary species that does not interact with other species, except to hunt and eat them.
The Tasmanian Devil takes their babies out and teaches them to hunt. The babies can catch their own food after just a couple of weeks.
The Tasmanian Devil.
European settlers use to hunt the Tasmanian Devil because they thought they ate their farm animals. But the main reason why they are endangered is because they are suffering from a cancer called DEVIL FACIAL TUMOUR DISEASE.
The Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) poses no risk at all to humans or animals of any other species.
Tasmanian devils' habitat has been cleared by humans, rendering the Tasmanian devil more vulnerable to being hit by cars. Humans have also introduced other predatorial animals such as the fox, which feed on the same mammals as Tasmanian devils, leading to greater competition for food.
Yes: a human could outrun a Tasmanian devil. However, one would not be in a position to need to. Tasmanian devils are not aggressive hunters of humans.
No.. the Tasmanian devil is simply just an animal in the regular food chain... Humans... however at the top of the food chain... which means humans should not be scared of tasmainian devils
Mostly legal issues, as it is illegal to keep a Tasmanian Devil without a proper licence.
Other than a program of eradication which was put to a stop in 1941, humans could not be said to be Tasmanian Devil predators. The Tasmanian Devil does not have any natural predators. Only very brave, very hungry introduced species such as dogs and foxes might take on a Tasmanian Devil for a meal.
The Tasmanian devil does not have a "temper". "Temper" is a word applied to people, not animals. The Tasmanian devil exhibits behaviour.When faced with competition for its food supply or territory, the Tasmanian devil becomes aggressive in its behaviour.
