http://www2.lhric.org/pocantico/cook/7thgrade/tasmanian.htm

Extractions: by Gordon Grajek Physical Characteristics: The Tasmanian Devil is usually about one foot tall and 2 to 4 feet long including its tail. Their fur is usually black containing a white stripe located above their front legs. Also, the jaw of a Tasmanian Devil is very brawny allowing it to tear through the flesh of its prey. In addition, when they become irritated there ears turn bright red. Tasmanian Devils are marsupials which means they have a pouch in which their joeys or young develop in for a period of time. Habitat: Tasmanian Devils are now only located wild on the island of Tasmania, which is a state in Australia. Many are found near human settlements where they scavenge for food. Devils are nocturnal so they spend most of the day resting, in a state called Tupor, in caves and hollow logs. Tupor is when an animal drops its body temperature to match its surroundings to conserve energy. Also, the Tasmanian Devil has a home range of 25 to 50 acres in which it lives in for its entire life. Reproduction: The Tasmanian Devil reproduces sexually. They mostly mate during March and May (their breeding season). A female Devils gestation period is about 21 weeks. After, a litter of approximately four joeys develop in the mothers pouch 2-4 weeks. At six months the joeys are old enough to go out on their own. After two years the joeys are mature enough to reproduce. They usually live for five to eight years.
Give The Devil His Due
Blame Bugs Bunny and a nasty yawn for the tasmanian devil s bad rap. From Smithsonian Magazine, Vol 32 number 11.
http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/smithsonian/issues02/feb02/devil.html

Extractions: (Video clip courtesy of the Parks and Wildlife Service, Tasmania) Give the Devil His Due Blame Bugs Bunny and a nasty yawn for the Tasmanian devil's bad rap Working under cover of night, devils are effective predators and scavengers on their native island of Tasmania. The bite of a devil packs the power of an animal four times its size, and devils are able to eat up to 40 percent of their body weight in half an hour. When frightened, their furless ears turn red and they yawn, exposing fearsome teeth. Combined with unearthly, high-pitched screeches as they fight each other over mates or food, such habits have earned devils their name and a hated reputation. For years, they were considered vermin in their own land, hunted almost to extinction. Today, with better protection, as many as 150,000 devils roam the countryside. Still, their natural wariness makes devil sightings very difficult, so Tasmanian entrepreneurs have set up devil restaurants where tourists can pay about $20 to watch devils tear into a carcass at night. Though hardly as exotic as Bugs Bunny's cartoon foe, devils are finally proving to be star attractions in their own right.

http://www.convictcreations.com/animals/devil.htm

Extractions: The marsupial bites back At a height of just 30cm, the Tasmanian Devil is the world's largest carnivorous marsupial. It was once common on the mainland but was hunted to extinction around 500 years ago. Out of all Australian marsupials, the Devil was one of the easiest for humans to hunt. It was so slow that a human could just follow its tracks to its day-time hideout. There the Devil would stand its ground, make some noise, before being finished off with a club or spear. Ironically, the Devil is now being held up as the solution to the carnage to the Australian environment caused by the human introduction of cats and foxes on mainland Australia. The Devil's strengths are its nose, its endurance and its powerful jaws. It is able to pick up a scent and pursue it relentlessly. As for cats, they have great speed and agility, but no endurance. Once a Devil picks up a cat's scent, it will track it down. Although a cat can outrun a Devil over short distance, it tires very easily. It then uses a hissing sound to defend itself.

Extractions: Animal Description: The Tasmanian Devil is the largest living carnivorous marsupial. The Devil is known for making eerie sounding loud, screeching noises. These unusual noises, combined with his bad temperament are what prompted the European settlers to give it this name. The body of the Tasmanian devil measures about two feet in length. The tail is thick and is about nine to 12 inches long. Its body is stocky, and can weigh from nine to 26 pounds. The male Tasmanian Devil is typically larger than the female. Its head is large, and it has extremely strong, wide jaws that allow it to devour every part of its prey, including fur and bones. It has a pinkish snout, and pointed pink ears. The fur of the Tasmanian devil is generally black, although often marked with white patches around its neck and backside. The Devil's eyes are dark, matching its overall coloring. Because this animal hunts for its food during the night, its coloring helps to camouflage it with its surroundings.

Extractions: The Tasmanian Devil is actually a marsupial and not a dog like most people think. It gets its name from the Island of Tasmania off the coast of Australia where it is from. It has a very bad temper and makes chilling screech sounds that can be heard miles away the early locals used to call it the devil because of the awful sound it makes. It is also the largest surviving carnivorous marsupial in Australia. Males are larger then females. Males weigh up to 12 kilograms and are 30 cm tall at the shoulder. Devils mate in March if the weather permits and the young are born in early April after a short 21 day gestation period. Only 2 or 3 yound survive out of about 6 babies. Only the strongest devils get the 4 spots in the mothers pouch which greatly improves their chances of survival. The parents make their den in a hollow log most often and this is where they rear the pups.

The Tasmanian devil got its name from the shrieking and groaning sounds it makes. The noises terrified early European settlers who named it the Devil. Fossil evidence indicates that the animal was widely distributed on the nearby Australian mainland as recently as 600 years ago. Scientists believe that the dingo , introduced to the mainland by Aboriginal Australians , became a predator of the Tasmanian devil. This predation led to the extinction of the Tasmanian devil on the mainland. The Tasmanian devil is 52 to 80 cm (20 to 31 in) in head and body length, with a tail 23 to 30 cm (9 to 12 in) long. The adult weighs 4.1 to 11.8 kg (9 to 26 lb). Its pelt is blackish or brownish, except for white markings commonly present on the rump or below the neck. The Tasmanian devil is nocturnal and stays in burrows or in dense brush during the day. At night, it may prey on small mammals, lizards, or wallabies. The Tasmanian devil is primarily a scavenger and will eat whatever is available, including carrion. With its powerful jaws and teeth, the Tasmanian devil can devour almost an entire animal, including the animalâs bones.

http://www.kidcyber.com.au/topics/Tasdevil.htm

Extractions: Tasmanian Devil They live in forests in Tasmania. They eat birds, small animals,reptiles. They have dark fur with some white fur. Their strong jaws bite through bones. The Tasmanian devil is the largest of the marsupials that eat meat. They were once found all over Australia, but are now found only in Tasmania. They were probably driven south by the dingo when it came to Australia, when Tasmania was joined to the mainland. Their habitat is wooded countryside, in forests and near the outer suburbs of many towns. They are black with a white mark on the chest and rump, and look similar to a medium sized solid dog. Their tracks are in a diamond pattern: a single pawprint, followed by two pawprints side by side, and then another single print. They have a rocking movement when they run, at a top speed of about 13 kilometres per hour. The Tasmanian devil hunts at night and spends the day in a burrow. It eats mostly animals it finds dead, but also kills birds, reptiles and small mammals.Tasmanian devils have powerful jaws that can bite through bones. When several gather at one carcass, they growl and screech, but rarely injure each other. After mating in March

http://www.outback-info.de/australien/tasmania.htm

Extractions: School of Zoology, University of Tasmania The largest living marsupial carnivore, the Tasmanian devil is the size of a small, stoutly-built dog. Ideal for their role as Australia's only specialized mammalian scavenger, devils have a massive head with powerful jaws and strong teeth. Indeed, their scientific name means flesh ( Sarco -) lover (- philus ). Males at 9 kg are larger than females 7 kg; occasionally, males can reach a massive 12 kg. Their jet black fur, unusual for marsupials, is usually marked with white on the chest and sometimes on the rump. While their black colour, pink ears that flush purple when they are agitated, and their blood-curdling nocturnal screams probably earnt them their common name, their true nature, wary though somewhat belligerent, belies their reputation. Once occurring across the Australian mainland, devils disappeared after the arrival of the dingo. They are now restricted to Tasmania (Bass Strait prevented dingoes from getting here). Devils reach highest abundances in the dry eucalypt forests and woodlands in northern Tasmania but are found all over the island state. Although populations have fluctuated this century, their status seems to be secure.

When angry its ears go red which could be another reason why it got its devilish name. It will open its mouth when scared or uncertain, rather than as a sign of aggression. Fierce noises such as harsh coughs, snarls and high pitched screeches are used in defence. Photo: Robert Dockerill The Tasmanian Devil is the worlds largest living carnivorous marsupial and is nocturnal (active at night). It is about the size of a small dog and has a strong, stocky body, with a large, broad head and a short, thick tail. The body is black with white markings on the chest and rump, though some can be entirely black. Males grow larger than females and have a broader, thicker neck and larger head. Males weigh between 9-12kg and females between 7-9kg. The Tasmanian Devil travels through dense vegetation or along tracks in the forest. When it runs, its hind feet are kept together in a hopping type action. Young devils are very good climbers in comparison to the adults.

Extractions: Compare Sizes Home Habitat and Geographic Range The Tasmanian devil is now confined to Tasmania where it lives in underbrush in the forest. It has also expanded its habitat around farms where it may attack poultry. It formerly had a wide range across southern Australia including southwest WA as testified by fossils in southwest caves. The upper jaw is formed from the base of the skull. The lower jaw is made up of two bones which are loosely fused at the front and on each side (left and right) is hinged behind with muscles to the back of the skull. Movement of these muscles works the lower jaw up-and-down and in some animals sideways as well. Food and Foraging The animals have a fearsome appearance, especially when they bare their teeth and make growling or screaming sounds. Nevertheless they feed mainly on carrion rather than live animals which includes grubs, small mammals and birds and occasionally poultry. The powerful jaws and teeth enable them to crunch up all parts of dead animals (carrion), for example a kangaroo, including the bones and skull. Devils are generally nocturnal but may also forage in the day time in secluded areas. Animals may range over a wide area of more than ten kilometres if food is sparse. Back to Tasmanian Devil page.
