Excerpt from Marsupials
Carole Jenkins
Tasmania is an island south of Australia and is the home of two marsupials, the wombat and the Tasmanian devil. Some people
think that wombats make good pets. They are about three feet long and live in borrows. As nocturnal vegetarians, they feed at
night on leaves, roots, and vegetables. Tasmanian devils, on the other hand, are savage and do not make good pets. They
resemble small bears, and they kill and eat other animals.
