An animal : The Tasmanian Devil
Hello! I've visited Australia and the tasmanian devil have the cutest animal I've ever seen!
He is disappeared from the Australian "continent" about 400 years before the arrival of the first European settlers since 1788, it has long been considered a threat to livestock and was mercilessly hunted until it became a protected species from 1941.
The Tasmanian devil has characterized by his black fur, the strong smell he gives off when he is anxious, his loud and disturbing howl and his aggressive temperament towards his fellows when he eats.
The Tasmanian devil became the largest carnivorous marsupial in Australia after the disappearance of the Tasmanian tiger since 1936. Of the size of a dog, it is of stout and thick constitution, with a large head and a pudgy tail.
Common and widespread throughout Tasmania, it is found in all habitats of the island, especially around urban areas. He has particularly fond of wooded coasts and dry sclerophyllous forests. A nocturnal and twilight hunter, he spends the day in a bush or a hole. Young, he can climb trees, but it becomes more difficult when he grows up. He can also swim. He is essentially solitary and does not live in a pack.
A devil can capture up to a small wallaby. In practice, however, he is opportunistic and is usually satisfied with carrion. Although the wombat is his favorite food, he eats all native mammals, wild or domestic (including sheep), birds, fish, insects, frogs and reptiles.
The Tasmania devil can run 13 kilometers per hour for short distances. The fur is usually black, although irregular white spots on the chest and rump are common. Males are usually larger than females. The devil removes all traces of a carcass, devouring bones and fur in addition to meat and internal organs.
During a walk, I saw the Tasmania devil, I did not think it was so beautiful but when he saw me he began to growl and I had to run very fast to escape. This animal may be very beautiful but it can also be very dangerous, that's why I advise you to take a guide to go see it in the heart of nature!
