Australian mid sized predators and their decline
Ken Kingdon discusses Australia’s native mid sized carnivores including the dingo the Tasmanian tiger the quoll and the Tasmanian devil. He explains how dingos outcompeted thylacines on the mainland and how foxes and cats introduced by Europeans worsened the plight of small marsupials especially during droughts. The piece notes Tasmania as a refuge and mentions Bandicoot reintroduction efforts and Kingdon’s return to the Riding Mountain area.
