Current Goal

Sou um Diabo-da-Tasmânia e participo no jogo de geocaching "Devils in Danger", que também pode ser seguido neste forum. Ajudem-me a espalhar a mensagem sobre a minha espécie. Quero viajar pelo mundo até chegar à cache Devils in Danger na Tasmânia e depois gostaria de continuar a correr o mundo!

About This Item

I'm a Tasmanian Devil and a player in the "Devils in Danger" geocaching game that is also featured in the Devil in Danger geocaching.com forum.  Please help me spread the word about me and me mates' plight of nearing endangered species status in Tasmania, way Down Under.  I want to travel the world and reach the Devils in Danger geocache in Tasmania, Australia. Then I'd like to travel all over the world!

Yikes!  One day I was close to my Tasmanian home with my buddies in Eltham, Victoria, Australia, then I was stuffed into an envelope and when I could breathe again, I found myself up to my belly in hot white sand.  I met up with a cat who told me I was in Portugal, near the Atlantic Ocean.  My ancestors lived throughout Australia, but then some folks brought wild dogs called dingos to the mainline and they pushed us to extinction there about 600 years ago.  Now, Tassie Devils live only on the island of Tasmania off the southern coast of Australia where we make a living as nocturnal scavengers.  Protected from hunting by law since 1941, we are now threatened by something called devil facial tumor disease which kills 50-90% of adults that contract it.  You can learn more about me on the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service website.

I also have a brother, Golden Heart Tasmanian Devil in Danger, who ended up in Alaska, in the cache Golden Heart Devils in Danger.
