The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae, now found in the wild only on the Australian island state of Tasmania, including tiny east-coast Maria Island where there is a conservation project with disease-free animals.
The size of a small dog, it became the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world following the extinction of the thylacine in 1936. It is characterized by its stocky and muscular build, black fur, pungent odor, extremely loud and disturbing screech, keen sense of smell, and ferocity when feeding. The Tasmanian devil's large head and neck allow it to generate among the strongest bites per unit body mass of any extant mammal land predator,[2] and it hunts prey and scavenges carrion as well as eating household products if humans are living nearby.
Although it usually is solitary, it sometimes eats with other devils and defecates in a communal location. Unlike most other dasyurids, the devil thermoregulates effectively and is active during the middle of the day without overheating. Despite its rotund appearance, the devil is capable of surprising speed and endurance, and can climb trees and swim across rivers.
The main thing for me in the house of my dream is beauty and comfort. That’s what I imagine my future house to be. I dream to live in a private house somewhere in the quite suburb of the city. I will have an one-storey house with all the modern conveniences in it and a beautiful garden around it. There will be a kitchen, a bathroom, a living-room, a sitting-room, two bedrooms and a study where I will be able to work.
In the living-room of the house of my dream there will be a sofa, two armchairs, TV-set and a stereo-system. There will be a nice mild carpet of the light color on the floor. The walls will be covered with the light wallpaper to make you feel spaciously. A big standard -lamp will light the room.
In the study I would like to have a table with lots of drawers and a comfortable chair. There are going to be the shelves on the walls for books and different souvenirs. The notebook with Internet is necessary to complete the ideal workplace. And also I want to rest in my study, so I would like to have a little sofa in the corner. I like pictures very much, so I perhaps will put some with beautiful landscapes on the wall. To make my study cozy I will put some flowers on the windowsill.
I want my kitchen to have all necessary modern equipment such as stove, refrigerator, mixer. I like when the cupboards don’t take much space and are elegant of design.
Lots of beautiful plants and flowers will decorate the lawn in front of the house and many useful fruit-trees will grow an orchard behind it.
