Why the Tasmanian Devil is So Important to Australia | World's Weirdest Animals

The Tasmanian devil a small mammal vanquished to the island of Tasmania once flourished in Australia. Not only did they flourish they were integral to the stabilization of Australia’s ecosystem, ever since they were wiped out both plants and animals in Australia have suffered. Measuring about the size of a medium-sized dog and weighing around 26 lbs or 12 kg these animals evolved for millions of years on mainland Australia. It’s unsure what exactly got the devils, climate change, growth in size of aboriginal groups or the introduction of dingos 4000 years ago. One thing that is certain once they were gone the introduction of new animals like European rabbits have devastated the undergrowth. This undergrowth provided places for many species to build shelter and hunt like the bandicoot, potoroos and bettong. With no shelter, they moved elsewhere or their numbers declined.
