When researching the Tasmanian Devil (Devil) I first began looking at information to do with it such as its habitat and its threats. This helped me to develop my understanding of the Devil. This simple research developed my knowledge skill greatly and allowed me to then go on and gain more information from different sources, these different sources focused on other topics to do with the Devil such as its conservation programs. When I first began researching the Devil I knew very little about it and what I did know were simple facts about the Devil, for example I knew that it lives in tasmania. I knew that the Devil was endangered but I did not know specifics about the reasons. Now that I have conducted some research into the topic of conservation of the Devils I know what affects it and why it is endangered; the trip to the Zoo further developed my knowledge on the Devil. At the Zoo I was able to observe what sort of environment the Devil would live in and I noticed its elusive movement and the way it used the dense flora to move around. This movement gave me some insight into how the Devil would behave in its …show more content…
