Tasmanian Devils - Behavior
Picture source:
Talune Wildlife Park Tasmanian devils have an unwarranted reputation of being savage beasts. These creatures have got such a name for their threatening yawn and look. Moreover, this savageness is misconceived from their great variety of noises from harsh coughs to high pitch screeches, but in reality they scream rather from fear and uncertainty than from aggression. Often they use their voices to challenge other animals and minimize harmful fighting. High-pitch screams are used to establish dominance at feeding around a carcass. They sneeze before a fight, which is a spectacular bluff behavior after which one of the Tasmanian devils will surely back down. Tasmanian devils have to compete for everything: food, shelter and mating. The males are more aggressive than the females. When under stress, Tasmanian devils produce a strong odor. These animals are very shy and are seldom seen by people. Tasmanian devils are nocturnal animals and during the day they hide in the dens. If little food is available, the Tasmanian devil can travel up to 16 km along their well-defined trails in search for food. These animals are not territorial, but have home ranges. Social interactions are frequent during their feeding time, but usually Tasmanian devils are solitary. All adult Tasmanian devils have several dens within its home range, which they share with other animals.

All You Need to Know About Sugar Gliders

If you would like to listen to music while exploring my web page, you may choose one of the following songs:
What Is a Sugar Glider?
A sugar glider is a small marsupial possum found in the tree tops of Australia, Tasmania, Indonesia, and Papua-New Guinea. The sugar gliders are so named because they have a preference for sweet foods and a glidding membrane similar to that of a flying squirrel.
How Are Marsupials Different From Other Mammals?
Contrary to popular belief, it is not merely the possession of a pouch or marsupium that defines the marsupial. In fact, some marsupials do not have a pouch at all. Depending on the species, the pouch can vary greatly in size, depth, orientation of its opening, and the number and arrangement of the nipples found within. Marsupials are truly set apart from the rest of the mammals by their means of reproduction.
Characteristics of Sugar Gliders
General Appearance
An adult sugar glider's head and body together measure about 5 to 6 inches with a tail of equal length. Sugar gliders are gray with a cream colored underside. A black stripe runs the full length of the back in line with the spine. It extends up and over the top of the head, terminating between the eyes. The last couple of inches on the tail are also black.

Carnivorous Marsupials
Order Dasyuromorpha
In many ways, these are Australia's forgotten marsupials. There are in fact over 50 species of these generally predatory marsupials (Strahan 1998), making it the biggest family of marsupials (Egerton 199), yet they are little known by the general public. This is probably the result of the fact that, unlike kangaroos and possums, the dasyurids are very rarely seen, for on the whole they are small, fast and generally nocturnal in habit. Being predators, they are also at the top of the food chain, and naturally less abundant. Most dasyurids prey on insects and other invertebrates. However, they are well known amongst biologists for their tenacious nature and it is not uncommon for them to tackle prey that are larger than themselves, such as small birds and other mammals. The bigger dasyurids will catch larger birds and feed on carcasses. In turn, they are prey for many Australian snakes, although it has been suggested that the aggressive nature of dasyurids has resulted in the high incidence of strongly venomous snakes in Australia relative to the rest of the world (Martin 1993). Like many predators, they have evolved a fairly uniform morphology. Dasyurids tend to have four equal length limbs. The tail is not prehensile (Strahan and Cayley 1995) and may be covered in hair, be fluffy, or have a tuft at the end; in fact the group's name 'Dasyurid' means 'hairy tail' in Greek (Stahan and Cayley 1995). The head usually has large round ears and a elongated snout. Being predators, the long snout is filled with small, sharp teeth.

Daily Summary of Birds Seen in SE Victoria Day 1 – We Drove to Buchan from Melbourne at mid-morning on this first day observing a few Cattle Egrets and lots of Straw-necked and Australian White Ibis . We had one stop at a small park in the town of Stratford for an outdoor lunch. There was a large flock of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos and Little Corellas in the surrounding trees. An active group of Weebills worked through some trees around a small pond, and a Red Wattlebird watched us eat. A Varied Sitella was also observed. Crimson Rosellas watched our every move and that species would hang tight on nearly every stop we made the rest of the trip. We arrived at our Buchan accommodations late in the afternoon. We went down to the reserve (Buchan Caves Park ) just a few hundred meters away. White-winged Choughs were everywhere near the camping area and cooperative almost to the point of tame. Yellow-faced and White-naped Honeyeaters flickered around a few trees underneath some feeding Eastern Grey Kangaroos . That night a Common Brushtail Possum came down from the roof of the bed and breakfast and actually ate a banana out of our hands.

13 September 1996 Objectives of today's lecture: By the end of today's lecture, the student should be familiar with the systematics, principal characters, and ecology of the Australian marsupial radiation, in particular the member of the families Dasyuridae, Peramelidae, Notoryctidae, Phalangeridae, and Petauridae; and what the main distinctions are between Dasyuroidea and remaining Australian families. Note : Metatherian vs. eutherian dental formulae: vs. Additional Note on Microbiotheriidae , from Dr. John A. W. Kirsch: Yeah, I once thought that the nearer relationship of Dromiciops to the Diprotodontia (not dasyuroids, if the DNA:DNA hybridisation data are correct) meant a back-migration from Australia; but our latest divergence-date suggests cladogenesis of Microbiotheriidae ca. 55-60 myrbp. As current thinking is that Australia-Antarctic connections persisted until 50 or even 40 myr ago (and Antarctica-South America connections until even more recently), this means that all ordinal cladogenesis could have occurred before the final separation of the three relevant southern continents. Carroll is a bit out of date: there is an early Palaeocene fossil from Bolivia that could be a microbiotheriid, and another couple from Brasil that are sometimes placed in the family. So the timings from DNA and those permitted by the fossil record are pretty consistent. But these fossils are nothing like so complete as the Oligocene-Miocene ones - dentitions, which are mimicked even among some opossums (caluromyids). Hershkovitz, of course, thinks the fundamental division in marsupials is between microbiotherians and all the rest; and that it dates to the Jurassic (!). I leave it to you to decide which of us is the crazier.

How do creationists explain the origin and distribution of Australia’s unique animals in terms of a young Earth and a worldwide flood? A. Explaining the origin of Australia’s marsupial population, and especially its uniqueness to that one isolated southern continent, is difficult for evolutionists and creationists alike. Marsupials such as kangaroos, opossums, wallabies, and koalas seem unusual, but monotremes (i.e., the echidna and the platypus) are even more puzzling. The main difference between marsupials and most other mammals centers on the reproductive system. Marsupials give birth prematurely and allow the fetus to develop in an external pouch. In other mammals, excluding the monotremes which lay eggs, the fetus develops within the uterus and is attached to, and nourished by, the placenta. According to evolutionary theory, the opossum was a primitive mammal living 200 million years ago on a single southern land mass called Gondwanaland. When parts of this supercontinent divided into what are now Australia and South America, the opossums were separated geographically. Over eons of time, so the story goes, the Australian descendants of the opossum developed into the various types of marsupials seen today. However, in South America, they “evolved” placentas and eventually migrated to North America and Eurasia.

Marsupials: An Australian Opportunity, Problem and Responsibility
In A. B. Paterson's book of children's verse The Animals Noah Forgot an English swan lost in the bush asks a koala "Can you tell me where I am?". The koala's response is to tell stories of the antics of 'native bears', 'porcupines' and bandicoots. These now seem very dated: however, the stories and the Norman Lindsay illustrations capture very well the strangeness that Europeans felt, and still feel, for Australian animals. To a large extent we have perpetuated this Eurocentric focus which has meant that the potential of the unique plants and animals of Australia has been largely neglected even up to the present time. A complex mix of geography and history make marsupials an essentially Australian-New Zealand scientific and practical issue. The perspectives are very different; Australian treasure versus New Zealand threat. However, in both cases our ability to conserve or manage populations, or use the resources they offer, depends on a greatly expanded scientific base and the co-ordinated development of practical management tools that are the aims of the proposed CRC. Despite these imperatives there is currently no major focus comparable to a CRC in either Australia or New Zealand to coordinate and optimise the efforts of the wide range of groups and disciplines active in marsupial biology. Marsupials are also found in the Americas, but our international scientific colleagues are interested in marsupials mainly as an antipodean curiosity, in much the same way as a tourist. In only the most general sense is there an international concern to conserve and manage marsupials. Australia and New Zealand alone will have to undertake the research to produce the technologies required.

Picture courtesy of
Northwest Outdoor Photography During a drought when there is no water and the rains are rare, Red Kangaroos may easily survive if there is enough grass and plant life from which it can get water. These animals like to sleep out in the open air although, when it is too hot, they like to hide in the shades of the trees. To keep cool the Red Kangaroo will lick its coat.
Red Kangaroos - Appearance
This big animal has a long body about 65 inches with a tail 42 inches long that acts as a steering rudder. They weigh up to 198 pounds with the males usually bigger than the females. They have long pointed ears. Their front legs are small whereas their back legs are big and very strong with long feet. Their long powerful tail is used for balance when hopping and leaping. The kangaroos, especially the females, are blue-gray in color despite their name. The male Red Kangaroos have short dense woolly fur and are colored pale red to a brick red. In some areas the kangaroos may be both red. Even though these animals look cuddly, they are to be approached with caution. They have evolved with a large claw attached to its hind leg; therefore this makes these marsupials very dangerous. The muzzle is dusky, naked and sharply defined. There are distinctive black and white patches on each side of the muzzle. Red Kangaroos travel with their head down.
