Is a Tasmanian devil a person?

No. The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial of Australia, now restricted in its natural state to the island state of Tasmania.

Where does the new jeresy devil live?

Tasmania does not have any official state mammal. The Tasmanian devil is the unofficial state mammal of Tasmania.

What is the height of a baby Tasmanian devil?

Tasmanian devils are just the size of a bean when they are born. This equates to just under two centimetres. They are tiny and undeveloped, like the young of all marsupials.

Who is the Devil?

Christians believe that Satan is the devil. Satan entered post-Exilic Judaism as the 'adversary' but under the instructions of God, as we see in the Book of Job. In Christianity, Satan evolved to become the evil opponent of God, seeking to cause the faithful to deviate from righteousness and to destroy God's kingdom. Satan continued to evolve throughout much of the Middle Ages, at time as a figure of fun and sometimes with changes in how he exerts his wicked powers.

Do Tasmanian devils have night vision?

Yes. The Tasmanian devil, like the majority of marsupials, is nocturnal; therefore, it requires night vision in order to undertake its night-time activities. They need to be able to see at night in order to hunt and feed.

What challenges does the Tasmanian devil face?

The most obvious challenge faced by the Tasmanian devil is habitat loss. The timber industry and land-clearing for agriculture has resulted in considerable habitat loss for Tasmanian devils and other native animals.

Second to this is the Tasmanian devil's own feeding habits. This creature cleans up roadkill - carrion by the side of roads - but as a result, an estimated 2000 Tasmanian devils every year are killed by cars.

The introduction of the red fox which has finally made its way to Tasmania, is a threat to the Tasmanian devil as it competes with the Tasmanian devil for food.

A more deadly challenge is the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD). Since about 1996, the Tasmanian Devil has been threatened by this fatal cancer which has killed more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 45% of adults in medium to low density areas. As a result, the Tasmanian Devil's status was officially listed as "Endangered" as of May 2009. This is a fatal condition which causes cancers around the face and head of Tasmanian Devils. It first appears as small lesions and lumps around the animal's mouth which grow quite quickly, inhibiting the Devil's ability to feed. They slowly starve to death, whilst their their bodily functions gradually break down. It spreads from animal to animal through them biting each other, and given that this is natural behaviour for Devils, it means that the disease can quickly spread through a population.

Whilst there is no actual cure for the disease yet, scientists have identified the genetic marker that causes Tasmanian devils to be predisposed to the disease, and this will go a long way towards finding a cure. Also, scientists have recently reported promising results in cancer cures from a drug manufactured frfom a certain type of brushwood in the North Queensland tropical rainforests. This has worked successfully in trials on cancerous tumours in cats, dogs and horses, and as well as being hoped to be a potential cure in human cancers, it is also hoped to be able to be used against DFTD.

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.

What is Tasmanian devil's face trauma?

It is not a "face trauma": it is a facial tumour.

The population of wild Tasmanian devils in Tasmania is being severely affected by the Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), a fatal condition which causes cancers around the face and head of Tasmanian Devils. It first appears as small lesions and lumps around the animal's mouth which grow quite quickly, inhibiting the Devil's ability to feed. They slowly starve to death, whilst their their bodily functions gradually break down. It spreads from animal to animal through them biting each other, and given that this is natural behaviour for Devils, it means that the disease can quickly spread through a population.

Is the Tasmanian devil in the threatened species list?

Yes. Foxes, which have only recently been introduced to Tasmania, do cause a problem as they will take the young Tasmanian devil joeys when they are left alone in the den.

Man could be regarded as an invasive species, and he has certainly led to the endangerment of the Tasmanian devil.

How are Tasmanian devils born?

Tasmanian devils, being mammals, are born via the birth canal.

The average number of Tasmanian Devil babies, or joeys, that a mother may be rearing at any one time is 2-3. A female Tasmanian devil actually may have several dozen tiny embryos in one birth - anywhere between 20 and 40 - but only four at most can latch onto a teat in the mother's pouch. The rest are lost as, once a joey is born, it must compete with the other joeys in the litter to determine which ones will enter into the backwards-opening pouch of the mother. Once they enter the pouch, they latch onto a nipple, staying there for around three months.

What sound does the Tasmanian devil make?

Tasmanian devils are notorious for their unusual loud, fierce grunts and snorts. You can listen to the sound at the related link below.

Why are white people called the devils children?

I wish I was making it up but it is a term derived from the beliefs of the Nation of Islam - an African American religious movement started in the 1930s. The dogma is as follows:

Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yakob) is according to the Nation of Islam, a black scientist who lived "6,600 years ago" and was responsible for creating the white race to be a "race of devils". The Nation of Islam theology claims that Yakub is the biblical Jacob.

Yakub is said to have been born in what would become Mecca (founded in 2000 B.C.) at a time when 30% of original black people were "dissatisfied". He was a member of the Meccan branch of the Tribe of Shabazz. At the age of six, he discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets made of steel. This insight led to a dastardly plan to create new people. He "saw an unlike human being, made to attract others, who could, with the knowledge of tricks and lies, rule the original black man." By the age of 18 he had exhausted all knowledge in the universities of Mecca. He then discovered that the "original black man" contained both a "black germ" and a "brown germ". With 59,999 followers he went to the island of Patmos, where he established a despotic regime and set about breeding out the black traits, killed all darker babies and created a brown race after 200 years. After 600 years of this deliberate eugenics the white race was created

The term was usd by Malcom X, Louis Farrakhan (Nation of islam members) etc during the highly charged racial tensions of the 1960s and has since gained further attention and popularity because of it's continued usage by African American rappers. Whether they are adherents of the Nation of Islam beliefs is debatable - but the term has certainly been used by many. Example:- Ice Cube - Horny Lil Devil -. Ice Cube is a Muslim who has spoken favourably of the Nation of Islam but has denied being a member.

Does the Tasmanian devil have predators?

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.

Man poses the biggest danger to the Tasmanian Devil, through habitat loss and clearing of forests, and through roadkill. Other than a program of eradication which was put to a stop in 1941, humans could not be said to be Tasmanian Devil predators.

How do you become devil gene in devil within mode?
