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.

I don't know.It sounds scarry!

There senses are smelling

Satan (with a long A at the front) or the Hell's Lord

the devil is translated 'le diable' in French

There is no problem with marsupials.

The main method being used to help conserve the Tasmanian devil for the future is captive breeding programmes, which breed Tasmanian devils safely away from other devils which have the fatal Devil Facial Tumour Disease.

Moves to breed more genetically diverse Tasmanian devils with higher levels of immunity have been very successful. Plans are afoot to release healthy Tasmanian devils onto islands off Tasmania, where they can help to improve the biodiversity of those islands.

In January 2010, a team of international scientists pinpointed the genetic marker that predisposes Tasmanian devils towards this fatal disease. With this knowledge, there is now a better chance of a cure, which would also stop the disease decimating the wild Tasmanian devil population. Research continues into finding a cure.

In addition, the "Save the Tasmanian Devil" was begun, with the objective being to 'maintain an enduring and ecologically functional population of Tasmanian Devils in the wild in Tasmania'. This programme is a joint initiative between the Australian Federal and Tasmanian State governments, together with the University of Tasmania. More sponsorship has come through the car company Suzuki Australia which has developed a is partnership with Zoos Victoria. Suzuki donates an amount from the sale of each Suzuki SUV to help save the Tasmanian Devil.

Tasmanian Devils have extremely strong jaws and can cause quite a lot of damage when they bite. They become fierce around food. They are mostly scavengers, but can prey on animals up to the size of a small kangaroo.

Tasmanian devils are not at all dangerous to people. Despite their reputation, they are actually timid and shy creatures which would rather hide from people than confront them. They never attack people, but will certainly defend themselves, and it is true that they have exceptionally powerful jaws.

It is extinct at UK, already bot not in the rest of the world. All kinds of animals extinct and made new, so it will be, also humans.

Tasmanian devils are found only in Tasmania.

Although Tasmanian devils can and do dig, they expend little energy on making their dens. Tasmanian devils often use caves,hollow logs and old wombat burrows for their dens.

Tasmanian devils are scavengers, and so they clean up carcasses lying around.

No. Tasmanian devils are solitary creatures.

Prey of the Tasmanian Devil includes small mammals up to the size of wallabies and wombats, as well as snakes, birds and fish.

Tasmanian devils tend to feed frequently on carrion, or the bodies of dead animals.

In proportion to its size, the Tasmanian devil does indeed have stronger jaws than a crocodile.

However, the crocodile is much larger, so its jaws are stronger, comparatively speaking.

Yes: when threatened, the Tasmanian Devil can produce a foul odour that rivals that of a skunk, but when it is non-stressed it emits no odour at all.

Being a dasyurid, or carnivorous marsupial, the Tasmanian Devil is at the top of the food chain.

Yes. The female Tasmanian devil is a dutiful parent.

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. During this time, the baby, or joey, feeds entirely off mothers' milk. The pouch faces backwards, like that of the wombat, so it does not get filled with dirt while the animal is digging. When the young become too old to carry in the pouch, they are transferred to a den for several more months until they are fully weaned.

cuz they eat thare crops

No. The kiwi is a small, flightless bird from New Zealand. The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial from the Australian island state of Tasmania.

The Tasmanian Devil is a wild animal. They are not domesticated, nor kept as pets.

Even if they were not protected animals, the Tasmanian devil would not be a desirable pet. They can be very fierce where food is concerned and, when cornered, can emit a foul smell.

Some are kept in zoos and animal sanctuaries in Australia, while there are also some captive breeding programmes in an attempt to preserve the species.

Being nocturnal, the Tasmanian devil sleeps during the day. It hunts at night.

The Bermuda Triangle is obviously located near Bermuda. It's considered the Devils Triangle because when planes and ships started to disappear, people thought the Devil had something to do with it. Plus people thought of it as scary and unknown. The really freaky part of it is not every ship and plane disappears in there! Unreal. Unexplained.

Tasmanian Devils have a very high metabolism and can eat up to 40% of their body weight in food each day. This can range from 500 to 1,500 grams of food per day, depending on the size and age of the individual. They are opportunistic feeders and will consume a variety of prey, including birds, insects, small mammals, and carrion.
