The Tasmanian devil is a small, carnivorous marsupial that is native to Tasmania, an island state located off the coast of Australia. With its black fur, sharp teeth, and powerful jaws, the Tasmanian devil is one of the world’s most iconic and recognizable animals. Despite its reputation as a fearsome predator, the Tasmanian devil is a fascinating and important species that is facing serious threats to its survival.
The Tasmanian devil is the largest surviving carnivorous marsupial in the world, with males reaching up to 80 centimeters (31 inches) in length and females up to 60 centimeters (24 inches). They have a stocky build, with powerful jaws and teeth that are perfect for crushing bones and tough meat. Despite their intimidating appearance, Tasmanian devils are shy and solitary animals that are most active at night.
The Tasmanian devil is a scavenger that feeds on a variety of prey, including dead animals, birds, and reptiles. They are known for their aggressive feeding behavior, which is often accompanied by loud growls and screeches. This behavior, along with their black fur and sharp teeth, has contributed to their reputation as fierce and dangerous animals.
In the past, Tasmanian devils were widely distributed across Tasmania and were an important part of the island’s ecosystem. However, in the 20th century, the population of Tasmanian devils declined dramatically due to habitat loss and disease. The most significant threat to the species is a transmissible cancer known as Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD), which is spread from one animal to another through bites during feeding. The disease causes tumors to form on the face and neck, making it difficult for the animal to eat and eventually leading to death.
In response to the decline of the Tasmanian devil, conservation efforts have been undertaken to protect and conserve the species. This includes captive breeding programs, disease management, and habitat restoration. In addition, the Tasmanian government has established several protected areas, including the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, to help conserve the species and its habitat.
The Tasmanian devil is a fascinating and important species that is facing serious threats to its survival. Despite its reputation as a fierce predator, the Tasmanian devil is a shy and solitary animal that is an important part of Tasmania’s ecosystem. With continued conservation efforts, we can help ensure that this iconic species continues to thrive for generations to come.
?? Review about the “Grand Hotel Tazi Marrakech”
I was once in January 2011 in the Tazi as last night in Morocco, because the Tazi is centrally located and relatively cheap. For the same reasons we wanted to stay there again. But this time we arrived by car. I had to park the car in another parking lot and we walked to the Tazi. They also had a room available, which should cost 420 Dh. We acted down to 400. The price was for two persons and without further ado. We were assigned a greasy guy to pick up the car and unload the luggage. We refused, but went with him to get the car. For the 15 minutes we had to pay there 20 Dh, or we had already paid when we left. The greasy guy planted himself on the passenger seat and opened the window to make himself comfortable.

Travelogue of a 2000 km tour through China in May-June 2012. Due to a business stay I had some days to travel around in China with starting point Dalian. The question arose at the beginning, where to go and what is feasible in which time. Originally the route was supposed to run further west, but was discarded due to lack of time. A detour to inner Mongolia was also rejected, as the return would have to take place on the same route. So I decided for maximum day trips of about 300 – 500 km with the destination Shanghai in nine days.
