Endangered Species : The Tasmanian Devil, An Endangered Species

An ecosystem contain biological communities and abiotic factors that interact with each other. However, Introduced pest species in Australia have always been a major issue due to the unique ecosystems that have developed, undisturbed over millions of years, due to Australia's geographical isolation. This is especially evident in the introduction the European red fox in Australia, which has prompt negative changes to the population of the Long-nosed Bandicoot due to the predation by these foxes in the Field of mars and around Australia. The disruption the fox foxes have on the Long-nosed bandicoot can also result in sever cascading effects on the rest of the ecosystem, including abiotic factors like the soil and biotic factors like other native flora and fauna

The all of tasmanian animals are becoming endangered from dehabitation.The t-devil are dieing from DFTD.The invasive specie are kill the t-devils by the year.People are endangered tasmanian devil and rat and invasive specie giving them disease and take there food.

With nearly 84% of its natural habitat gone, it is no wonder Reithrodontyms Raviventris finds itself on the endangered species

They were once found in different parts of North America ranging from Northern Mexico to Southern Canada. During the early and mid 1900s their populations in many Mideastern and western states of the United States of America reduced because they were hunted because of their high demand of fur. However, in the 1970s the international law began to protect them thus, reducing their high rate of decline (Hansen, 2006).

Tasmanian devils have been at the top of the Australian predators. They are one of the deadliest animals in Australia. They are the size full a full grown furry cat. They are full black and have a white stripe in front of their chest. They mainly feast on meat, they are carnivores. They eat snakes and little animals. From eating the tiny rodents and animals, one major downfall has come into play, the Devil Facial Tumor Disease.

Devils are ferocious beasts and that is just what the Tasmanian devil is. The Tasmanian Devil is Australia's top predator and its icon animal. These creatures have developed a disease over the past 20 years called Devil Facial Tumor Disease. This causes large lumps of cancer on the face and neck. This is transferred from one to another with contacts such as a bite and once it has gone into the devils system they can die within 6 to 12 months.

On the Australian island of Tasmania it is home top predator. The Tasmanian devil has been one of the top predators for more than a century in Tasmania but within the last 20 years they have been attacked by a disease, that is threatening their existence. This deadly disease they have been given is called Devil Facial Tumor disease (DFTD).

The last wild specimen of the Thylacine species died 2,000 years ago, today, reports of sightings all across Australia have been rolling in like raindrops. The earliest sighting was on March 27th, 2017 when an Australian couple claimed they spotted a Thylacine. After the couple received so much publicity, there was a reported three more sightings. Scientists are scratching their heads trying to contemplate how the extinct species that disappeared 2,000 years ago was magically resurrected and is being spotted more and more frequently in the same place.. The Tasmanian Tiger also called the Thylacine, is an extinct species that has recently been spotted in the Adelaide Hills, causing controversy as scientists prepare for an expedition to the northern

This journal explains in thorough detail the impact that wild canids have within Australia, and have effectively represented this through multiple graphical and image depictions. The journal elaborates on the number of management and control techniques that have been put into practice as well as the development in these controls. This journal is specifically related to the video assessment topic as it covers the impact that wild canids have on Australia as well as a number of management schemes that’s been put in place. It will specifically help in the production and planning of the ‘impact and management’ section within the video. The journal is clearly reliable as it has a number of credible authors, is a successfully published journal and

Tasmanian Devils have been labelled as ‘endangered’ species by the Tasmania’s Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. The population of Tasmanian devils have been decreasing due to number of factors including their stage in the food chain, competition, road accidents and destruction of their habitats. The main factor for their decrease in population is the natural death from Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) which has rapidly decreased their population. One other factor of the reduce in population is from the introduction of the red fox in Tasmania. Red fox is a competition for the infant devils as they share a similar habitat and are similar in size.

If you were to take a midnight stroll through New Zealand wilderness, you would more than likely run into a brushtail possum. This Australian marsupial has large pointed ears, grey fur, and a bushy tail, hence its name. Though appearing cute and fluffy, be forewarned, for this little critter is one of the most voracious predators in all of New Zealand. Today, many New Zealanders consider possums to be public enemy #1. Now nearing a population of 30 million in a country similar in size of the state of Colorado, possums munch on extensive regions of forest, massacre millions of birds and chicks a year, and spread diseases such as the bovine tuberculosis to cows and other livestock (Groves, 2005).

Wild Tasmanian devils can only be found in the wild in Tasmania (Australia). Despite the decline in numbers since the early 1990s, populations of Tasmanian devils remain widespread in Tasmania from the coast to the mountains. They live in coastal heath, open dry sclerophyll forest, and mixed sclerophyll-rainforest. In the Tasmanian wild, they can be found sleeping under rocks, logs or burrows. The Tasmanian devil is also nocturnal. It sleeps during the day and is awake at night. During the night, they sometimes journey up to 10 miles (16 km) to hunt.

Reintroducing thylacines to Tasmania, New Guinea or Australia could result in the extinction of other animals. Tasmanian tigers hunt wallabies, wombats, possums, potoroos, and birds (Tasmanian Tiger Facts). Fourteen types of wallabies are endangered, along with five types of possums, two types of potoroos, over thirty birds and bats, and the hairy nosed wombats (Earth’s Endangered Creatures). If the thylacines are brought back they would need to feed on these endangered animals. Reviving one animal is not worth losing several other
