TASMANIAN DEVIL By: Ben Goh 7 James
More than 50 Tasmanian Devils die every year The Tasmanian Devil begin breeding in their second year. On rough terrains, the Tasmanian Devil is able to run faster than humans. The Tasmanian Devil is able to walk sixteen kilometres. Tasmanian Devils have bad eyesight and often walk clumsily. FACTS!!! The Tasmanian Devil has large ears, head and shoulders, powerful set of jaws and strong teeth. The tail of a Tasmanian Devil looks like a bear. The Tasmanian Devil lives in Tasmania currently and it used to live in the mainland but became extinct The Tasmanian Devil is a carnivorous marsupial who mainly eats the bodies of dead animals. The Tasmanian Devil stores its fat in its tail.
Endangered Tasmanian Devil!! Dear Hon. Mr. Peter Garrett, I am writing this letter to you about the decrease in the number of the Tasmanian Devils in Australia. Currently, more than 90% of the whole population has been wiped out in some areas due to many causes of death. The main cause of the decrease is due to the Devil Facial Tumour Disease. This disease is a facial condition of Tasmanian Devils and the disease is spreaded from a devil to another through biting. There are scientists working on a cure and at least there are people doing something to save the Tasmanian Devils. Can you please consider putting in more resource as the team is currently under funded. Another significant cause of the decrease in the Tasmanian Devil population is the loss of habitat. Many of the habitats of Tasmanian Devils have been destroyed by the Tasmanian Government to turn the wild into a much wider Tasmanian landscape. I know that the Tasmanian Government is trying to provide more homes for more families and that is a fantastic thing to do but you should consider designating a reserve area where the Tasmanian Devils can continue their own way of living because they are our national heritage. Mr. Garrett, you should do something about it. Yours sincerely, Benjamin Goh
