[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There is nothing like it in the world. The Tasmanian Devil, now officially an endangered specie due to the facial tumour disease, which caused a 50% reduction in Devils in the last 5 years.
This pup however came into my front garden in the middle of the night and was challenged by my two Rottweilers. The racket woke me up. The little fellow stood his ground in typical Devil fashion and didn’t give an imperial ‘inch’. Pyjamas or not, the first reaction was to get the camera and then tie the dogs up. Well, the dogs were making sure that he didn’t go home to mum.

Hi Helmut
Very nice picture of rather rare visitor at TrekNature.
The face of the animal sharp but I would prefer deeper depth of field (at least to see ears sharp as well).
Thanks for sharing
