Most of Australia’s wildlife is found nowhere else in
the world. 87% of mammal species, 93% of reptiles, 94% of frogs and 45% of the
bird species are found only in Australia. Tasmanian devils can only be
found in the wild in Australia.
Tasmanian Devils are solitary and nocturnal, spending
their days alone in hollow logs, caves, or burrows, and emerging at night to
feed. Did you know Tasmanian Devils eat entire carcasses, including
fur and bones?
Once found all over Australia, Tasmanian devils now
live only on the island state of Tasmania. Efforts to eradicate the Devils in
the late 1800s almost succeeded. But sadly they are now threatened by an illness
that has already killed tens of
thousands of Tasmanian devils.
Thx Steve!

What is the illness and do they know where it originated from? Hmmm that looked like me a couple of days ago when my hubby made me angry:)
