Tasmanian Devil Official Scam Site
Greetings. Hate to see a feisty and endangered creature used for personal gain.
Check out the "Official Tasmanian Devil" website in External Links (http://www.TasmanianDevil.org/) and you will find a few dozen words stolen from the Wiki article, surrounded by a every Google ad the poor slob could cram in.
Had I edit privileges, I'd delete the poser. Please do so. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.248.145.164 (talk) 22:39, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Original Research
Citation 28 and the accompanying sentance and picture claiming devils' ears turn bright red when aroused is attributed to "personal observation". As such I would like to see it marked as cn, but hte page is protected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.176.113 (talk) 20:05, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Images
This article has too many photographs that add little to the encyclopedic nature of the article, while also creating a cluttered page. I propose that the images be deleted and consolidated. I welcome suggestions for which to delete from regular editors of this article.Theinsomniac4life (talk) 06:42, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Dating extinction
Okay, I am getting a handle on the extinction now. The Oliver Brown 2006 paper looks fascinating and I am keen to get fulltext of it. The Johnson/Wroe paper goes with the mainland extinction date at 430 years and cites:
- Dawson, L. 1982: Taxonomic status of fossil devils (Sarcophilus, Dasyuridae,
Marsupialia) from late Quaternary eastern Australian localities. In Archer, M., editor, Carnivorous marsupials, Sydney: Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales, 517–25.
and
- Archer, M. and Baynes, A. 1972: Prehistoric mammal faunas from two
small caves in the extreme south-west of Western Australia. Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia 55, 80–89.
to back this up. I need to get the fulltexts and see what can be found. I've read the fulltext of Johnson/Wroe. Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:43, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Devil/Tiger hybrid?
In regards to Tyndale-Biscoe, pp. 159–165., is this an attempt to give the devil something like hybrid vigour (by increasing its genetic diversity), or another attempt to clone the tiger? --Malkinann (talk) 22:00, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- I found it too techncial for me to explain. This is a pretty well-known book that is in all libraries I think YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 01:50, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
- Would it be accurate to change it to "As the devil is the thylacine's closest relative, there has been speculation that the two could be hybridised by combining DNA from museum samples of thylacines with devil ova." ? It's probably a function of just how technical the original book is, but I find the current wording confusing. --Malkinann (talk) 02:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Typo
I believe that the penultimate sentence in the section Relationship With Humans is incorrect as it reads, "However, the devil was still negatively, including in tourism material.[110]" Stephen R Long 21:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected}} Can someone undo Dick Shane's removal since the edit summary states Remove 'iconic' virus when 'iconic' was in fact part of The devil is an iconic symbol of Tasmania. Dick Shane's edit was clearly misleading and his wording with in the article is also wrong since the devil is in fact an icon (iconic) to Tasmania. 124.183.163.127 (talk) 22:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Habitat preference
In regard to:
- Devils prefer open forest to tall forest, and dry rather than wet forests. A study at Cradle Mountain suggested that adult devils were three times likelier to be found in wet forests. However, for subadult devils, the percentage in dry forests dropped from 13.5 to 7.2, and the figure in wet forest increased from 38.9 to 42.4%.
I was concerned that there seemed to be a contradiction. The first part says that the prefer dry forests, the second that they prefer wet. However, the dry forests claim comes from the threatened species report [1], and is sourced to two works, while the second is sourced to Jones and Barmuta. I've removed the second claim, because while Jones and Burmuta is an excellent study, it seems to be related to 24 individuals, which feels like a small sample size for the use it is being put to here.
That said, if I'm reading this incorrectly feel free to revert. :) - Bilby (talk) 14:13, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Mistranslation
The article currently states that the Tasmanian devil was described in "in 1807 [and named] Didelphis ursina, literally, 'meatloving bear'". "Didelphis" does not mean "meat-loving"; it's "two uteruses" and is the genus of the Virginia opossum. It's hard to believe that this critter was confused for an opossum in 1807, so this sentence is probably wrong, possibly including that the devil was originally named "Didelphis". I'm reluctant to change something if I don't know the truth; does anybody know the real story? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 20:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- Good point. Will look into it. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:06, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Owen and Pemberton 2011
Owen and Pemberton have published another book about the Tasmanian Devil, due to be released in July. While the official site lists it as being a first edition, the title is the same as their 2005 book, which we have cited in the article. Might be worth chasing up. --Malkinann (talk) 23:04, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Inconsistency in taxonomy section
"In 1838 the devil was renamed Dasyurus laniarius by Richard Owen, before being moved to the genus Sarcophilus in 1841 and named Sarcophilus harrisii ("Harris's meat-lover") by French naturalist Pierre Boitard."
Richard Owen don't rename the species, he descript a new fossil species, as Dasyurus laniarius, and Owen (1877) recombinate to Sarcophilus laniarius. References: (1) OWEN, R. (1838) Report on fossils from Wellington Caves. In: MITCHELL, T.L. (ed.). Three expeditions into the interior of eastern Australia with descriptions of the recently explored region of Australia Felix, and of the present colony of New South Wales. Link; (2) OWEN, R.

Content changes and clarification requests during copyedit
During the copyedit requested on the GOCE requests page, I have made the following changes of substance. I'd appreciate experts checking these over:
- The lead section contained the sentence "Fossils of species similar to modern devils have been found, but it is not known whether they were the ancestors of the contemporary species, or whether the current devils were co-existing species that have now died out", which is confusing since the current species has not died out. I have changed it to "Fossils of species similar to modern devils have been found, but it is not known whether they were ancestors of the contemporary species, or whether they belonged to a co-existing species that has now died out", which I think is what the Taxonomy section is saying. Please correct it if the intention is different. --Stfg (talk) 17:50, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- This refers to two other, now-extinct species in Sarcophilus - Sarcophilus laniarius and Sarcophilus moornaensis. Probably also Sarcophilus prior, but I've not found references to this in the literature. It should have been "whether the current devils were co-existing with species". --Malkinann (talk) 23:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, that's clear. I've actually put "... whether the current devils co-existed with these species", which seems to fit best here. --Stfg (talk) 08:37, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- May 2009 is when the BBC reported their classification as Endangered, not when it was announced. IUCN did it in 2008. --Stfg (talk) 17:50, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching this. --Malkinann (talk) 23:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- In Tasmanian_devil#Ecology_and_behaviour, the sentence "A juvenile at Cradle Mountain is twice as likely to be seen in a tree" is ambiguous: twice as likely as an adult from Cradle Mountain of twice as likely as a juvenile from elsewhere? Please could someone with access to the reference (currently ref 56) check this? --Stfg (talk) 20:02, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- It seems to be a study on how Dasyurids find and exploit niches. A cursory read-through didn't find anything like what we've got in the article. --Malkinann (talk) 23:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll snip the sentence. The picture about juvenile climbing behaviour is quite clear in the rest of the paragraph. --Stfg (talk) 08:37, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

- I've tagged one paragraph in Tasmanian_devil#Reproduction as being too technical, because it contains many technical terms that cannot be found in Wikipedia or in Wiktionary. I suspect there are typos ("carpels" and "ulnarcarpals") too. If the level of detail in this paragraph is needed, please could an expert make it intelligible to the layperson? --Stfg (talk) 11:24, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Contraception
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please add the following into the "Reproduction" section:
"A slow-release hormonal contraceptive implant for female devils is being developed and tested in a joint program between the Save the Tasmanian Devil program, the Zoo and Aquarium Association, the Taronga Conservation Society and the University of Sydney. This is aimed to help the devils continue with their wild behaviour by mating freely, but without certain females contributing too much to the next generation, which "can have long-term genetic consequences for the insurance population". Contraceptive trials in male devils showed that their testosterone increased, instead of decreasing as other male mammals' testosterone does. Early studies suggest that the female contraception has been successful, and the female contraceptive implants will be tested in the Maria Island insurance population.[1]"
Even though it's relevant, I can't work out how to link in the article on wildlife contraceptives into this text. Thank you. --110.20.234.69 (talk) 20:20, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Maybe its true, but the citation talks about 418 canine bite force (CBS), and bite force quotient (BFQ) 181. It's the same? --Furado (talk) 10:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- I was wondering that as well. I saw only 418 N mentioned in the cited article; the 553 N looks like OR. 50.79.227.209 (talk) 15:41, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Type/Number of teeth compared to dog teeth
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Description section, 5th paragraph, sentence 8, "Like dogs, it has 42 teeth, which are not replaced after birth but grow continuously throughout life at a slow rate" This implies that dogs also have teeth which are not replaced after birth but grow continuously.... Suggest rewording to make clear that it has the same number of teeth as an adult dog, without implying the dog does not lose baby teeth. Per this article http://www.drsfostersmith.com/PIC/Article.cfm?d=155&category=607&articleid=2842 puppy's have 28 deciduous teeth which are replaced by 42 permanent teeth. Perhaps - "Like dogs, devils have 42 teeth, however, unlike dogs, their teeth are not replaced after birth but grow continuously throughout life at a slow rate". Something like that.

Reintroduction proposed to mainland
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please add "A study has modelled the reintroduction of DFTD-free Tasmanian devils to the mainland in areas where dingos are sparse. It is proposed that devils would have fewer impacts on both livestock and native fauna than dingoes, and that the mainland population could act as an additional insurance population.[1]" to the distribution and range section. It could either go with the extinct populations of the 1990s, or as a new paragraph under the tapeworm. --110.20.234.69 (talk) 05:57, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Murder and suicide?
The "Relationship with humans" section says Tasmanian Devils "are known to eat the bodies of murder victims or people who have committed suicide." This seems unusually specific. How does a devil distinguish between someone who has died of natural causes and someone who has killed himself or been killed by someone else? Wouldn't it be more sensible to simply say they scavenge on human carcasses? Sadiemonster (talk) 03:00, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. Seems like an attention-grabbing bit of writing. DrChrissy (talk) 15:59, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

The article says "Jones believed that the quoll has evolved into its current state in just 100–200 generations of around two years as determined by the equal spacing effect on the devil"

Toledo Zoo link in External Links
I removed a link to the Toledo Zoo's "Saving the Devils" campaign because it doesn't add anything to the page beyond the article itself, unlike the other links (to the sequenced genome of the tasmanian devil and to the official Tasmanian Government Save the Tasmanian Devil program). I was swiftly reverted and I don't think the reasoning is convincing. The Toledo Zoo link is targeted at children or a general audience, is the product of a zoo that isn't even Australian and is not of value or use to anyone who has already read the Wikipedia article. There are several other zoos with similar information pages for their Tasmanian Devils. I don't think it should be included because it does not meet WP:ELNO - specifically "Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article." --211.30.17.74 (talk) 21:43, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation Link Vandalized
The link to a disambiguation page, instead of linking to the actual "Tasmanian Devil" disambiguation page, had been vandalized to read, and link to, "Tasmanian Devil, it knows how to have sex with hippos," which page, of course, does not exist. Oddly, this text did not appear on the edit page. The text there simply read, "Tasmanian devil (Disambiguation)". I don't understand how that could be. Anyway, since I could not edit it, I simply deleted the line. I'm afraid I'm not certain of how to link to the correct disambiguation page and I don't want to mess up the page, so I left it at that. if somebody else could put in the proper link, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Current: “Devils are not monogamous, and their reproductive process is very robust and competitive. Males fight one another for the females, and then guard their partners to prevent female infidelity.”
Suggest: “Devils are not monogamous, and their reproductive process is very robust and competitive. Males fight one another for access to the females. After mating, males fight to keep other males away from the female to help ensure their paternity.”
Why: Invoking the concept of “fidelity” right after stating they’re non-monogamous is very odd and rather misleading. The purpose of guarding in this species is not to prevent female choice. It’s to prevent access from other males. 2604:2000:248F:1600:4D27:1D93:EB25:EFC1 (talk) 01:11, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii)
I've votices that there is a non-sensical phrasing in the phrase in the beginning of this article.
"It was once native to mainland Australia and was found in the wild only on the island state of Tasmania."
How can something be native to the mainland yet not in the wild? If something is native to the whole of Australia, then it should be:
"Native to the whole of Australia, the Tasmanian devil is now only found it the wild on the island of Tasmania"

Tasmanian Devil & Badger Island
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
In "Distribution and Habitat", the text reads:
"they were introduced to Badger Island in the mid-1990s but are thought to have died out by 2005.[34]"
This is incorrect. They were purposefully removed from Badger Island by the Tasmanian government department of the environment (DPIPWE), and the animals were replaced on the Tasmanian mainland. The reference [34] is purposefully non-specific about why they were removed, since this action was controversial (the animals probably contracted DFTD when they were placed back in infected populations).
I would replace this text with:
"they were illegally introduced to Badger Island in the mid-1990s but were removed by the Tasmanian government by 2007. Although the Badger Island population was free from DFTD, the removed individuals were returned to the Tasmanian mainland, some to infected areas."
Please see:
https://stors.tas.gov.au/download/1539284 https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/conl.12787
To cite the former:
"In 1996, unnamed persons introduced “two or three pairs” of Devils to Badger Island in the Furneaux group off the northeast corner of Tasmania (Wade, 2005b; Hawkins et al., 2008; PHVA, 2008; DPIPWE, 2010d; STDP, 2011b; Mooney, 2012). The animals came from the Northern Midlands and Bridport area, were ferried to nearby Flinders Island and flown to Badger (STDP, 2011b). This illegal introduction was possibly done out of spite due to the island being handed back to its Aboriginal owners in that year. Subsequently, the owners requested that the Devils be removed, and removal was underway by early 2005 (Wade, 2005b; PHVA, 2008). Where the Devils were originally sourced from is unknown.
The introduced Devils bred, and 120-130 individuals may have occurred on the 14 km2 island at the time of removal. However, by August 2007 all the Devils were “thought to have been removed” (N. Mooney, in Hawkins et al., 2008, but see Mooney on ABC Bush Telegraph, 22 May 2012 and Insurance Population: Off-shore islands, below). One hundred and twenty-six trapped animals were released at various sites on the mainland, including Bridport, Epping Forest and Georgetown (STDP, 2011b), and two female Devils with their young were sent to a captive breeding facility at Bicheno (Radio National, Innovations: Devil Island Project, 26 May 2008). Interestingly, the authorities were not able to catch all the animals (below), and they may still inhabit the island. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikecology (talk • contribs) 05:49, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
