There is no use hiding. It’s Monday.
Good news is it’s #MarsupialMonday!
Today we have the always adorable but mysterious & shy Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii).
From the Dasyuridae family (who are largely insectivores), they are unique being the largest carnivorous marsupial.
Today is not only #MarsupialMonday, but it's also the inaugural #InternationalTasmanianDevilDay !
Here is the first published image of a Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) from 1808, initially described as the "Bear Opossum," alongside the first published image of a Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), similarly described as the "Dog-Headed Opossum" or "Zebra Opossum." Both images are from sketches made in 1806 by George Prideaux Harris, an Assistant Surveyor in Hobart Town.
