Do Tasmanian devils fight

Answer 1

Yes, Tasmanian Devils are real. They are carnivorous marsupials found only in the wild in Australia's southern island state of Tasmania, although they were once found over much of the Australian continent. Tasmanian devils are nothing like "Taz" on the Cartoons.

Answer 2

Tasmanian Devils are not the playful type. Tasmanian pups may play with each other in their early stages after leaving their mother`s pouch, but Tassies are more aggressive than playful. Tassies like to hunt and scavenge,etc.

Answer 3

Tasmanian devils do not fight each other whenever they meet. Although solitary animals, they are, incongruously, gregarious, and will gather at a carcass to feed. This is when they tend to bite each other, as they assert their dominance over each other. However, they have their own home range which overlaps with that of other Tasmanian devils, and where their home ranges overlap, this is a communal latrine area, indicating cooperation among individuals.

When mating, females are only interested in strong, dominant males. The male must be able to literally bite and scratch the female into submission, and drag her off to his den for mating. Biting is a natural and expected part of the courtship ritual. After mating the female will try to escape to find another, even stronger male, so that the joeys that are conceived stand the best chance of survival.

Answer 4

No. Despite being aggressive animals that fight for dominance when they are feeding on a carcass, making ferocious growls and screams as they feed, research has shown that Tasmanian devils are not actually territorial. If an animal is territorial, it will defend its home range. Tasmanian devils do have a home range, but they do not fight over their range, instead sharing overlapping areas with other Tasmanian devils as a communal latrine.

Answer 5

No. Tasmanian devils are solitary creatures.

Answer 6

Tasmanian devils really aren't the playful sort. They are more interested in scavenging for food, defending their territory and avoiding people.

yes
