EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1909, showcases a Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus ursinus), a unique and intriguing marsupial native to the island of Tasmania. The Tasmanian Devil, with its distinctive black stripes, pointy snout, and rotating jaw, is one of the most iconic and fascinating creatures of the Australian fauna. This historical image offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with valuable insights into the appearance and behavior of this elusive and carnivorous marsupial. The Tasmanian Devil is known for its powerful jaws, which can generate pressures up to 875 psi, making it one of the strongest bite forces among living mammals. The Tasmanian Devil was first discovered by European settlers in the late 18th century and was initially believed to be a large rat or a type of devil. However, it was later classified as a marsupial, a group of mammals that carry their young in a pouch. The Tasmanian Devil is the largest living marsupial carnivore, and it plays a significant role in the ecosystem of Tasmania as an apex predator. This photograph, taken over a century ago, is a testament to the rich natural history of Tasmania and the importance of documenting and preserving the world's unique wildlife. It serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect the Tasmanian Devil and its habitat from threats such as habitat loss, disease, and human encroachment. Today, the Tasmanian Devil is a beloved symbol of Tasmania and a source of pride for the people of the island state. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or Tasmanian wildlife, and it continues to inspire wonder and fascination in people around the world.
