My animal is the Tasmanian Devil. This animal spends their days alone in hollow logs, caves, or burrows and comes out at nigh to find food. They live on the Island state of Tasmania. They eat small prey such as snakes, birds, fish, and insects. They consume every thing including the hair, organs, and bones. How they reproduction. The mothers give birth about 3 weeks of pregnancy to 20 or 30 very tiny young. The infants leave the pouch after about 4 months and their on their own by the eighth. A few interesting information is the average life span in the wild can live up to 5 years, it can weigh up to 9 to 26 lbs and it is a carnivore.

The Tasmanian Devils threat is the disease called Devil Facial Tumor Disease or DFTD. It stands for Devil it only affects Tasmanian Devils, Facial it tends to occur on the face, Tumor Cancer/ neoplasm/ growth, Disease an illness/ sickness/ disorder.The IUCN status is EN ( ENDANGERED) It means there aren't that many of them there any more.
