do Tasmanian Devils look like the cartoon character?
Lets Look Up Real TDs
hmmm.. not really
we should shorten Tasmanian Devil to TD
hey we know somebody who has seen a real TD
Maybe Mr Fassbender, from our friends who
traveled the world probably wrote about
them

we should message Mr
Fassbender on Facebook
here is what he wrote: they are
very noisy, they growl a lot, they
fight bite and scratch each other.
Their noises can be scary, and
they can make 20 different ones.
and because they are so violent,
they spread a disease that is
killing off most of the TDs
he also found this info
on the Tasmania
website: There are
many TDs in tasmania
in the wild. They live
near farms and when
animals die they
sometimes eat the
carcases
thats them

thats Jackie, Frankie, Mr and Mrs Fassbender
since TDs are so fast they run in a
tornado, are the real things that fast too?
we need some facts about TDs

what other animals
can run about 8
mph?
Google: which animals can
run about 8mph?
chicken 9mph/ house mouse
8mph /domestic pig 11mph
how fast do they run?
26 +10 = 36
thats 36 inches long?
how much is 12 + 24?

because there are 12
inches in a foot, and 36
divided by 12 = 3
