Book Description
For many years, people believed Tasmanian devils were cruel and savage beasts with an insatiable hunger for meat that led them to attack any animal they could find-even humans. Are these nocturnal scavengers really the monsters people made them out to be? Biologist Nick Mooney wanted to find out. He has spent many years observing the Tasmanian devil in an attempt to discover its true nature. In Tasmanian Devil: Nighttime Scavenger, kids follow Mooney as he tracks these uncommon animals that live only on the island of Tasmania, off the coast of Australia. Large, full-color photos and a narrative format will keep readers turning the pages for more.

Saving the Tasmanian Devil
Author: Carolyn Hogg
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 1486307205
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
The Tasmanian devil is threatened by Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), a transmissible form of cancer that has reduced the population by over 80%. Persecution, extreme climate events, vehicle collision and habitat destruction also put pressure on this endangered species. The recovery effort to save the Tasmanian devil commenced over 15 years ago as a collaborative initiative between the Tasmanian government, the Australian government, the Zoo and Aquarium Association Australasia, and many research institutions. Saving the Tasmanian Devil documents the journey taken by partner organisations in discovering what DFTD is, the effect it has on wild devil populations, and the outcomes achieved through research and management actions. Chapters describe all aspects of devil conservation, including the captive devil populations, applied pathology, immunology and genetic research findings, adaptive management, and the importance of advocacy and partnerships. This book will provide management practitioners and conservation scientists with insight into the complexities of undertaking a program of this scale, and will also be of value to researchers, students and others interested in conservation.

Book Description
Though many people are familiar with the cantankerous cartoon character, few people know much about the real-life Tasmanian devil. Tasmanian devils are found only on an island south of Australia. Though they are grouchy and feisty, they’d rather make a lot of noise than fight. Unfortunately, there is nothing comical about the current situation of this increasingly rare marsupial. After being hunted almost to extinction, the remaining population has been decimated by disease. Readers will learn what is being done to save the Tasmanian devils, and will grow a lasting appreciation for this unique animal.
