October 15th, 2011 at 6:10 am
are tasmainen deivels hard to see?
December 5th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Well if you are in Tasmania Tassie devils are hard to find because tassie devils mostly live in the forest and most of the tassie devils have a face tumor and it is killing the tassie devils. In zoos there are only a few. In different Zoos in Australia, you can see a lot of the Tassie devils.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
yes they are hard to see cause they come out at night.
October 15th, 2011 at 6:11 am
Are Tasmanian Devils nice to humans.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
Not one tasmanian devil is friendly to a human unless you train them from a babie to an adult devil
December 5th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
The tassie devil is usually a quite aggressive animals and make a very unusual sound to try to scare you away.
but they dont attack humans because they are scavengers which means they eat already dead animals.

November 18th, 2011 at 6:37 am
G’day Cerenity,
Mr Davo is friendly but the real version of him can be very nasty. There are lots of famous waterfalls in Australia but personally I like Russell Falls in Tasmania cause that is near where Mr Davo came from.
I have lots of favourite sites in the USA but I really loved Crazy Horse Monument in South Dakota.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:32 pm

November 18th, 2011 at 6:16 am
Dear Mrs. W,
It’s exciting to know you went to Cape Cod. This reminds me that I have relatives in Massachusetts that I have visited before. We went on the Mayflower 2, visited the beach where the pilgrims first landed, and played a lot of mini golf.
What is the name of that mountain in the outback?
Where on Australia is Sidney?
Sincerely,
Julian
November 18th, 2011 at 6:34 am
G’day Julian,
Thanks for leaving a question so soon after I visited your class. That mountain in the outback is called Ayres Rock or its aboriginal name is Uluru. Sydney is on the east coast of Australia and is the capital city of the state of New South Wales. You will need to check it up on a map.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Dear Mrs. W,
Have you came rally interested in the Tasmanian devils?
I am Lilly I am in Mrs. Frahers class you just came to my classroom. I go to school at Peralta Trail Elementary School.
November 23rd, 2011 at 2:10 am

I became really interested in Tasmanian Devils because at school we take part in a fundraiser called “Black and White Day”. All the money goes to research about the disease the devils have.

Dear Wyatt,
Do Tasmainen Devils turn into a tornado like the one on looneytoons
November 29th, 2011 at 5:04 am
Matt,
When feeding Tasmanian Devils, they chase each other in circles which is very similar to the tornado like actions of Taz on Looneytoons.
November 29th, 2011 at 9:08 am

Hi Miss Wyatt!
Thank you for visiting our class today! I was wondering if Christmas is celebrated in Australia. Do you also celebrate Boxing Day?
Fondly,
Mrs. Levy
December 1st, 2011 at 6:55 am
G’day Mrs Levy,
Yes , we celebrate Christmas in Australia as well as Boxing Day which is a British tradition brought over by the convicts to Australia back in the 1800′s. But our Christmas is probably very different to many in USA as it is in the middle of our summer. Instead of cold weather and snow, we will often have barbecues and picnics at the beach for our Christmas meal.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:38 am
dear wyatt,
Did you watch looneytoones when you were a kid?
from ,
Matt
December 1st, 2011 at 6:53 am
Matt,
I really loved Looneytoons when I was a kid, but most often it was Bugs Bunny and Tweetybird and Sylvester rather than Taz.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:42 am
