(c) Annie Fitz - Art Magnet Range.Tasmanian short-beaked EchidnaThe Tasmanian short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus setosus) is a subspecies of short-beaked echidna endemic to Tasmania. The fur of the Tasmanian subspecies is thicker and longer than that of echidnas in warmer mainland areas and therefore often conceals the spines. The echidna is common throughout most of Australia and lowland New Guinea. In Tasmania it is particularly common in dry open country on the east coast. Echidnas feed mainly on ants and termites though they have been known to eat other invertebrates. They generally feed during early morning and late evenings – the cooler periods of the day. They have an acute sense of smell which they rely on to detect food.

The Tasmanian magpies seem to be much more chilled than the mainland relatives. We don't know why it is that the Tasmanian magpies don't swoop and don't attack, but it's just one of these things that it's a very conspicuous difference.Tasmanian Whiteback Magpies are the subspecies of the Australian Magpie, scientifically known as Gymnorhina tibicen hypoleuca, found in Tasmania. They are distinguished by their entirely white back and rump, in contrast to the "black-backed" subspecies found in northern Australia. Like other Australian Magpies, they have black and white plumage, a distinctive flute-like song, and an omnivorous diet.

(c) Annie Fitz [The White Range - full colour Printed Art Magnets]Tasmanian TigerThe Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was the world's largest marsupial carnivore, known for the stripes on its back. Once widespread across Australia and New Guinea, it went extinct everywhere but Tasmania about 2,000 years ago. The last known individual died in captivity in 1936, and the species was declared extinct in 1986.Tasmania DevilThe Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world and only found in Tasmania. However, the Tasmanian Devil population is rapidly declining. Primarily nocturnal, carrion (dead animal) eaters, Tasmanian Devils can travel up to 16 km per night to find food. For their size, Tasmanian Devils have one of the most powerful bites of any mammal! This allows them to tear through meat and crush bones, consuming entire carcasses

(c) Annie Fitz - Art Magnet Range 2025.The weedy seadragon’s leaf-like appendages resemble the swaying kelp fronds found in their habitat. They drift gracefully around seaweed beds and seagrass meadows relying on camouflage and stealth to approach their unsuspecting prey. Feeding on tiny crustaceans and other zooplankton, weedys suck prey into the end of their long tube-like nose. Specially developed muscles and bones allow them to generate a lot of suction. Lacking a caudal (tail) fin, weedies must rely on their ventral (belly) and dorsal (upper) fins for swimming. Because of their limited swimming capabilities, each year a number of individuals are found washed ashore on the beaches of southern Australia.Weedy seadragons are one of the few species in the world whose males take care of the eggs. Females lay up to 250 eggs on the inside of the males’ tail, and he carries them with him until they hatch. Weedy seadragons are very shy creatures, and seeing one is a special experience. Most sightings in Tasmania occur near Bruny Island, but they are also regularly sighted in the Derwent Estuary on rocky reefs between Kingston and Blackmans Bay. The disappearance of kelp forests is a big threat to these special creatures, which may become endangered in the near future.

The vessel was to be used as a survey vessel and in that capacity was used by Flinders and Bass in 1798-99 to circumnavigate Van Diemens Land (Tasmania) – proving the existence of Bass Strait.
