Lucky for the Pademelon, in most areas they live there are not a lot of predators.\u00a0 In these areas, habitat loss is the only thing they need to fear.\u00a0 In other areas though they have to be on the lookout for dingos, tasmanian devils, snakes and naturally the flying predators such as Eagles.\u00a0 Obviously, the Tasmanian Devil is only a predator for the species of Pademelon that live in Tasmania.\u00a0 I would think that would be a huge asset to living somewhere else such as New Guinea.\u00a0\u00a0 Heck, even northern Canada would be better since you wouldn’t have to deal with those vicious Devils.<\/p>\n
