Notes on the diet of the carnivorous mammals of the Upper Henty River region, western Tasmania.

Abstract

Discusses Sarcophilus harrisii, Dasyurus maculatus, D. viverrinus and Felis catus. No data were obtained for D. maculatus. The other species had a major component of the diet (S. harrisii, large mammals; D. viverrinus, invertebrates and plant material; F. catus, birds) which was not utilized by the other species and hence substantial competition between them is unlikely. The diet reported by others for D. maculatus is similar to that found for F. catus.-from Author
