Tasmanian Devils


Tasmanian devils are cool and awesome. The devils live on an island called Tasmania, south of Australia. They are marsupials which means they have pouches for their babies. About fifty babies are born and forty-six die. Four live because there are four nipples and the babies stick to them for one hundred days. Afterwards they leave the pouch and stay with mom for another fifteen weeks.
These marsupials fight other smaller Tasmanian devils. Whoever loses ends up in the stomach of the winner. Tasmanian devils eat anything and everything like rotting corpses' teeth, bones and innerds. The devils also eat fruit if it is available.
To find out more about the devils go to your library and the Internet.

Wow! Scary dude! No wonder you don't see anyone with a pet Tasmanian Devil.
That is sad that so many of them are born but so few of them live. (Maybe that's why they turn out so mean? Because they are so lonely)
They look like they have very sharp teeth. Ouch.

Hey, can we buy one for a mascot for the library?

(That was my husband who wrote that)

And NO we can't get one for the library because we are NOT going to keep it in my office. He would eat all the candy and then Austin would be sad.
