The quoll is the closest relative to the Tasmanian devil. They both share the same Family - Dasyuridae, but the Tasmanian Devil is from the Genus Sarcophilus and the Eastern Quoll has the Genus Dasyurus. Both are Australia's largest carnivorous marsupials.
None.There is no species even similar to the Tasmanian devil. The closest species to the Tasmanian devil is the quoll, another native Australian carnivorous marsupial, or dasyurid.As dasyurids, Tasmanian devils are related to other small dasyurids such as kowaris, antechinus, phascogales, planigales. They are only distantly related to the now extinct Tasmanian tigers, or Thylacines.
Tasmanian devils' habitat has been cleared by humans, rendering the Tasmanian devil more vulnerable to being hit by cars. Humans have also introduced other predatorial animals such as the fox, which feed on the same mammals as Tasmanian devils, leading to greater competition for food.
No. Mongooses and Tasmanian devils do not occupy the same continent.
Being the top of the food chain, and a carnivorous marsupial, no other animal lives with the Tasmanian devil.Prior to 1936, the Tasmanian Devil and Thylacine (also known as the Tasmanian Tiger) co-existed in the same habitats. The Thylacine is now believed to be extinct.Tasmanian devils live in thick bushland or temperate forests in Tasmania, as long as there is sufficient undergrowth for them to hide. Animals which may share this biome but not live with the Tasmanian devil include wombats, quolls, bandicoots, possums, pademelons and bettongs.
If the two species occupies the same continent, which they do not, then a tiger could very easily eat a Tasmanian devil. Currently, there are no opportunities for tigers to consume Tasmanian devils.
Sometimes. While sugar gliders live in the Tasmanian devil's environment, the Tasmanian devil does not live in the sugar glider's environment outside of Tasmania.
No, animals in the same genus belong to the same class. The genus is a taxonomic rank above the species level but below the family level. Animals in the same genus share more similarities than animals in different genera.
Order is as follows: Life Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species To answer your question, animals in the same Genus are more closely related then those of the same Order.
The Tasmanian Devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial in Tasmania. Being at the top of the food chain, the Tasmanian devil has no native predators. Birds of prey are some danger to young Tasmanian Devils, but given that these creatures spend most of their time in dense bushland, there is little opportunity for hawks or kites to carry off young Tasmanian devils. Introduced foxes (an unfortunate recent addition to Tasmania) and feral dogs may have a go at younger Devils, but are not considered a major threat.
The correct name for the Tasmanian wolf is Thylacine. Also known as the Tasmanian tiger (and not to be confused with the Tasmanian devil), this animal is now extinct, so it does not drink any water. Prior to its extinction, it drank the same water all wild animals drink, from creeks, rivers, lakes and other natural sources.
The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), a carnivorous marsupial native to Tasmania, was once widespread on the Australian mainland. It is thought that the arrival of the Dingo and possibly climate change at the end of the last ice age, may have contributed to its extinction on the mainland. The dingo proved to be a bigger, stronger competitor, and there is strong evidence that its presence wiped out the Tasmanian devil's relative, the Thylacine (or Tasmanian tiger) from the mainland so there is every chance it had the same effect on the Tasmanian devil. As for climate change - it possibly reduced the food sources for the Tasmanian devil. There remains more bushy undergrowth, and thick rainforest for the Tasmanian devil's food to hide in on the island of Tasmania.
