Mammals, like the Tasmanian devil, are going extinct at a rate faster than anywhere else in the world.
Europeans settled in Australia 200 years ago. They brought with them guns, dogs, foxes, and cats completely upheaving the native wildlife there. In 1936, one of its largest known carnivores – the thylacine – went extinct. Now, the Tasmanian devil, once found all over Australia, survives only on remote Australian islands and is increasingly endangered.
