About the Tasmanian Devil

Tasmanian Devil, carnivorous and scavenging marsupial now restricted to Tasmania. The animal was formerly widely distributed in Australia as well but, because farmers believed that it killed large numbers of livestock and poultry, it was exterminated there. The Tasmanian devil is actually a very inefficient killer, and eats mostly carrion. It is 52 to 80 cm (20 to 31 in) in head and body length, with a tail 23 to 30 cm (9 to 12 in) long, and weighs 4.1 to 11.8 kg (9 to 26 lb). Its pelt is blackish or brownish, except for white patches commonly present on the throat or other parts. It stays in burrows or in dense brush during the day and, at night, preys on rodents, lizards, wallabies, and other small animals.
