Summary for all entries

From all the entries, I have learnt about the behaviour, reproduction of the Tasmanian devils and the reason why they became endangered. Before I do my research, I did not know much thing about the Tasmanian Devils. However, after doing my research, I realised that Tasmanian devils are also important.

I had learnt that the devils had a good sense of smell and their vision is the strongest in black and white. The devil produce a strong odour when agitated. The long whiskers on its face help the devil to locate prey. The Tasmanian Devils are now endangered due to the devil facial tumour disease which killed many devils within so many years. The Devil Facial Tumour Disease form large lumps on the devils' head and around the mouth and make it difficult for them to eat. Soon, the devils starves to death, therefore they separate the sick animals and healthy devils to prevent the wild population die out.

I feel that scientists should try to work harder to find out how to cure them and everyone should play a part to stop all the endangered animals from being extinct. People can help by try to reduce the amount greehouses gases, because too much greenhouse gases can lead to global warming.

Due to global warming, animals such as polar bears are now emdangered. That is because global warming causes the temperature to increase and thus sea ice melt. Sometimes the polar bears drown as reduction in sea-ice cover also forces bears to swim longer distances.
