= =

 = A) meeting basic needs = ===Food : they can take up prey as big as a small kangaroo they eat domestic mamals including sheep!they will eat birds, tadpoles, insects, frogs, fruit, vegetable matter, fish and reptiles. scince they travel in groups normally they will be like dogs and drink out of puddles ponds ect.===
 * my animal is a living thing because it can grow, devolope, respond and produce cells. it is the size of a small dog it recently became the largest carnivorous supail. this unique creature is only found in the wild only on the Australian island state of tasmainia. my animal can grow and devolop because as being in the kangaroo family these are animals so there for they can grow and develop. as seen on the cartoon these animals are very fierce so if they are eating they will definitly respond by fighting over the food. the skin of this mamal is made of diffrent cell layers and the body produces cells like us and again like us they die.**

===**Air: being a living thing they have lungs allowing them to inhale and exhale air or oxygen. however tasmanian devils do get a type of tumor from cells and with bad luck the tumor could block the air pipe causeing suffacation.**===
