Tasmanian Devils

Humans should save Tasmanian Devils because they eat the sick and dead animals.

Tasmanian devils are found only in Tasmania, the island state of Australia. Prior to European settlement, they were found on the mainland of Australia as well.

Wombats have few natural predators. The wombat's main predator is the dingo, but introduced species like dogs, cats and foxes can also hunt them for food. Young wombats which are still vulnerable and only just emerging from the pouch may be taken by birds of prey such as wedge-tailed eagles.

The Tasmanian devil has particularly strong jaws which are powerful enough tobute through bones.

* The Tasmanian Devil is found only in Tasmania, the Australian island state south of the mainland. The skunk is found throughout most parts of North America. * The Tasmanian Devil is a marsupial (actually a dasyurid, a carnivorous marsupial) whilst the skunk is a placental mammal. * The Tasmanian devil is at the top of the food chain, being a predator and a scavenger of both live prey and carrion, and has no native predators in Tasmania. The skunk is subject to predation by bobcats and other large animals, and it feeds on smaller mammals, birds' eggs and insects. * Tasmanian Devils can emit a very foul odour when threatened, but it is not a spray, whereas a skunk can actually emit a foul-smelling spray which has a maximum range of 4-7 metres (1m being more common). * There is just one species of Tasmanian Devil, but 13 types of skunk. * The Tasmanian Devil has a smaller tail, unlike the skunk's quite large, bushy tail.

no, Demons are children of hell. The devil is the ruler of hell. hope that helps.

very sharp

A Tasmanian Devil has a simple digestive system, meaning that it does not regurgitate its food, it has only one stomach, and its intestines and stomach are not particularly enlarged. Food travels from the mouth, through the esophagus, and into the stomach, where acids break it down. Eventually the intestines receive the food, first the Small Intestine and then the Large Intestine. The small intestine pushes the food along by villi, and the bloodstream takes in nutrients. The large intestines lack villi, but they give some more nutrients to the blood stream and push the wastes out the anus.

Yes. Juvenile Tasmanian devils are quite agile climbers, climbing trees to feed on mammals, birds (and their eggs), and invertebrates that live in trees. Adult Tasmanian devils have the sharp claws and the strength to climb trees, but are not as agile as younger individuals.

They can't. Jinn can

They previously lived in Tasmania as well as on the Australian mainland. However, they became extinct on the mainland 3,000 years ago. Currently, the Tasmanian devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world.

The reason Tasmanian devils now live only in Tasmanian is because they were essentially forced out by the dingo. The Aborigines came over from Asia many thousands of years ago, and brought this non-native carnivorous mammal with them. Both animals were at the top of the food chain, but the dingo was larger and stronger, and proved too much competition for the Tasmanian devil.

Newborn Tasmanian devils are less than 2cm in length.

Yes - Tasmanian devils are nocturnal. The Tasmanian Devil hunts primarily at night.

It is not known what percentage of actual Tasmanian devils have been affected by DFTD (Devil Facial Tumour Disease). A decade ago, it was estimated that between a third and a half of wild Tasmanian devils had died as a result of the diesease.

According to Tasmania's Department of Primary Industries, Water and the Environment, DFTD has now been recorded in Tasmanian devils across more than half of Tasmania: it has affected populations in the eastern half of Tasmania, and west to Cradle Valley. As of 2004, it affected over 65 per cent of Tasmania.

There is no sign of the disease in animals within sanctuaries and captive breeding programmes.

The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is a carnivorous marsupial mammal that is native to Tasmania, the island state of Australia located off the southeast coast of the continent. It is found throughout Tasmania. Any maps indicating its range reflect that it is found throughout the island, although it is not found in the alpine regions or mountainous countryside.

Their habitat is eucalypt forest, woodlands, heath and farmland. Tasmanian devils have black fur with a white streak across the chest and often one across the rump. This assists the creature to camouflage in its native forest habitat.

Tasmanian devils are carnivores. They are members of a group of animals known as dasyurids, which refers to carnivorous marsupials.

Of course not. Tasmanian devils are carnivorous marsupials, not vampires.

• endangered
• carnivorous
• marsupial
• nocturnal
• territorial
• dasyurid (meaning a carnivorous marsupial)
• aggressive (sometimes)

They communicate by loud aggressive sounding grunts and growls. To us it sounds like they are being nasty but they are just saying hello. The Tasmanian devil received its name because of the frightening devil-like screams it makes during territorial disputes or when fighting over food. You can hear the sound made by a Tasmanian devil at the related link below.

Tasmanian devils breed once a year, usually between late summer and early winter in Australia (February to June).

Yes teeth adapt to what they chew on.

The Tasmanian devil belongs to the class Mammalia.
