Where do Tasmanian devils get their food from?

Answer 1

The Tasmanian Devils are strictly carnivorous, eating insects, small prey such as snakes, birds, fish and mammals up to the size of a wombat, and carrion (carcasses or dead animal bodies). The Tasmanian devil scavenges most of its food and will eat whatever is handy. They have very powerful jaws and teeth enabling them to totally devour their prey, bones, fur and all.

They are bot hunters and scavengers, and essentially opportunistic carrion eaters. They are at their most rowdy when fighting over a large carcass.

Answer 2

The only things that might regard Devils as a food source would be introduced species such as dogs and foxes, and then, only juvenile Devils.

The Tasmanian Devil has no natural predators.

Answer 3

Tasmanian devils are hunters and scavengers. They are nocturnal hunters and prey on live animals within their habitat at night time. They also forage for carrion, or the bodies of dead animals. Many Tasmanian devils feed on road kill, performing the very useful extra function of cleaning up the environment.

Tasmanian devils are nocturnal predators and scavengers, meaning they are active hunters and opportunistic eaters of carrion. They have very strong jaws and teeth for eating all the body parts of mammals up to the size of small wallabies.

Answer 5

Tasmanian devils tend to feed frequently on carrion, or the bodies of dead animals.

Answer 6

Tasmanian Devils live in Tasmania, the island state of Australia. Their habitat is coastal heath, open dry sclerophyll forest and mixed sclerophyll-rainforest.

Tasmanian Devils eat snakes, birds, rodents, lizards and wallabies. A lot of insects, larvae and especially carcasses or dead animal bodies are eaten by the Tasmanian devils. Mainly Tasmanian Devils eat whatever is available.

Answer 7

The Tasmanian devil's favourite foods tend to be things like carrion (decaying flesh of dead animals) and smallish mammals, as well as birds.

Answer 8
