EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fierce Tasmanian devil, known scientifically as Sarcophilus harrisii, in all its glory. Native to the beautiful island of Tasmania in Australia, this marsupial exhibits its impressive set of teeth with a wide-open mouth. The sharpness and precision of each tooth are evident, emphasizing the animal's carnivorous nature. Being primarily nocturnal creatures, these Tasmanian devils rely on their exceptional sense of smell to hunt for food during the night. They are formidable predators that can take down large prey such as wombats, wallabies, sheep, and rabbits. However, they also possess an aggressive scavenging behavior and consume both bones and fur from carrion. The photograph perfectly captures a moment when this wild creature yawns or calls out into the night. Its single open mouth reveals intricate details within its biological structure while showcasing its unmistakable features as a member of the mammalian fauna. Displayed by Science Photo Library with utmost expertise in capturing natural wonders like this one without any commercial intentions involved; it provides us with an opportunity to appreciate the beauty and complexity of our planet's wildlife up close.
