Road Sign of Tasmania Devil Crossing in Hobart, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, Australia
A road sign telling drivers that there may be devils nearby. The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae, now found in the wild only on the Australian island state of Tasmania. Motor vehicles are a threat to localised populations of non-abundant Tasmanian mammals] and studies showed that devils were particularly vulnerable and were more difficult for drivers to detect and thus avoid. For avoidance of roadkill to be feasible, motorists would have to drive at around half the current speed limit in rural areas. Devils have often been victims of roadkill when they are retrieving other roadkill

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a road sign in Hobart, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, Australia, warning drivers of the potential presence of Tasmanian devils. These carnivorous marsupials are now only found in the wild on the Australian island state of Tasmania. The sign serves as a reminder that motor vehicles pose a significant threat to these non-abundant Tasmanian mammals. Studies have revealed that devils are particularly vulnerable to roadkill and are often difficult for drivers to detect and avoid. To minimize this unfortunate outcome, motorists would need to drive at significantly reduced speeds in rural areas where these creatures reside. The image showcases the beautiful landscapes surrounding the road sign - curvy paths lined with lush vegetation and towering trees. It highlights the importance of preserving natural habitats for wildlife while also ensuring their safety from human activities such as driving. Artie Photography has skillfully captured this moment, emphasizing both the beauty of Tasmania's outdoor scenery and our responsibility towards protecting its unique animal wildlife. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that we must be mindful of our impact on nature and strive to coexist harmoniously with all living beings sharing this planet.
