Tasmanian Tapestries
Description: Famous for its spine-chilling screeches, the Tasmanian Devil is an Australian icon and is the world’s largest carnivorous marsupial. Once found across Australia, Tasmanian Devils are thought to have become extinct on the mainland before European settlement due to the introduction of dingoes. Despite their name and reputation, devils are shy and tend to scavenge on dead animals rather than kill their own prey. Photo taken: Taronga Zoo, Sydney on a Nikon Coolpix P610

Description: The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial. It was formerly present across mainland Australia, but became extinct there around 3,500 years ago; it is now confined to the island of Tasmania. The size of a small dog, the Tasmanian devil became the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world following the extinction of the thylacine in 1936.
Description: So smol. So devilish. So... vital as an ecosystem engineer? YUP! The adorably boisterous Tasmanian devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world, and their reintroduction through conservation programs to mainland Australia could mean more scavenging, fewer feral pests, healthier habitats, and a much-needed biodiversity glow-up. Also, I love them. Was that too obvious?
