Tasmanian DevilTasmania has many unique mammals found nowhere else in the world. Some, like the Tasmanian devil and Tasmanian tiger are well-known. Others, such as the eastern quoll, pademelon and bettong are less well-known, but equally fascinating.<br> Like most of Australia's mammals, the Tasmanian mammal fauna comprises many marsupials, or pouched mammals. Marsupials are remarkable for their method of reproduction, such as the production of very tiny young which complete their development in a pouch.<br> Tasmania has many species which have become, or are on the verge of extinction on mainland Australia. The lack of introduced predators, such as the fox, and the relatively large amount of intact habitat on the island, make Tasmania a final refuge - a last chance - or many species.<br> Choose the species or mammal family you wish to see from the full species list below:ORDER MONOTREMATA (Echidnas and Platypus)<br> Family Ornithorhychidae (Platypus)<br> Platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus<br> Family Tachyglossidae (Echidnas)<br> Short-beaked echidna Tachyglossus aculeatus <br> ORDER POLYPROTODONTA (Carnivorous Marsupials and Bandicoots)<br> Family Dasyuridae (Carnivorous Marsupials)<br> Tasmanian devil Sarcophilus harrisii<br> Spotted-tail quoll Dasyurus maculatus<br> Eastern quoll Dasyurus viverrinus<br> Dusky antechinus Antechinus swainsonii<br> Swamp antechinus Antechinus minimus<br> White-footed dunnart Sminthopsis leucopus<br> Family Thylacinidae (Thylacine)<br> Thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) Thylacinus cynocephalus<br> Family Peramelidae (Bandicoots)<br> Eastern barred bandicoot Perameles gunni<br> Southern brown bandicoot Isoodon obesulus<br> ORDER DIPROTODONTA (Possums, Kangaroos and Wombats)<br> Superfamily Macropodoidea (Macropods)<br> Tasmanian bettong Bettongia gaimadi<br> Long-nosed potoroo Potorous tridactylus<br> Forester (Eastern grey) kangaroo Macropus giganteus<br> Bennetts (Red-necked) wallaby Macropus rufogriseus<br> Tasmanian pademelon Thylogale billardierii<br> Family Petauridae<br> Common ringtail possum Pseudocheirus peregrinus<br> Sugar glider Petaurus breviceps <br> Family Phalangeridae<br> Common brushtail possum Trichosurus vulpecula<br> Family Burramyidae<br> Eastern pygmy Possum Cercartetus nanus<br> Little pygmy possum Cercartetus lepidus<br> Family Vombatidae (Wombats)<br> Wombat Vombatus ursinus <br> <br> Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) figures for the year 2000, show that Tasmania wood chipped 5,498,654 tonnes for the entire year, the highest ever recorded. Figures for 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 are unavailable as it has been facilitated that the ABS does not monitor these figures anymore (I wonder why that happened?). Going from the 2000 figures, the counter above, shows how much has been wood chipped so far this year. <br> <br> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> <div align="right"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="1" color="#8F8F8F">This webpage is published by Gordon Craven @ </font><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="1"><a href="http://www.Discover-Tasmania.com.au" target="_blank">Discover Tasmania</a><a href="http://www.abr.business.gov.au/asp/abndetail.asp?ABN=64517410881" target="_blank" onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg(' CHECK OUT OUR A.B.N. 64 517 410 881 AT THE AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS REGISTER ');return document.MM_returnValue"> </a> <a href="http://www.abr.business.gov.au/(u3hj1t452dpfmu5535y41lyt)/WebProcessEngine.aspx?pid=7000&sid=0&outcome=0&SearchText=64+517+410+881" target="_blank" onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg(' CHECK OUT OUR A.B.N. 64 517 410 881 AT THE AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS REGISTER ');return document.MM_returnValue">A.B.N. 64 517 410 881 </a></font></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div align="right"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="1" color="#999999">This website has NO affiliation with the Tasmanian Government statutory corporation</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="1"> <a href="http://www.forestrytas.com.au" target="_blank">Forestry Tasmania</a> </font></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div align="right"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="1" color="#999999">OR any of its Forestry, Tourism and Recreation propaganda</font></div> </td> </tr> </table> <br> </BODY>
