They are the largest carnivorous marsupial (what is a marsupial?). A marsupial is the one who carries the little one in their pouch, (but isn’t that only kangaroos and koalas?) no, there are 330 species of marsupials (wow! 330!?).  They were found in the mainland of Australia but about 3000 years ago they went extinct in mainland Australia because they were hunted by dingoes.  As there are no dingoes in Tasmania, the devils are the island's state top predator.

There are more than 40 species of dolphins, and each one stands out in one way or the other. The bottlenose dolphin is the most common species. The young ones are called calves/cow and the mother dolphin takes care of her loved one for upto 6 years. Here's a scenario, imagi...
