Tasmanian Devils The Tasmanian Devils are the largest surviving carnivorous marsupial of the world. They are identified by short thick tail, relatively large broad head and thickset squat build. They often have white markings on the chest and rump. Their fur is mostly black. They also don't possess a definite body size that varies greatly from one to another. They also vary on their diet and habitats. The size of the adult males is generally bigger than that of the adult females. Adult males generally weigh about 12 kg and can stand about 30 cm high at the shoulder. The Tasmanian Devils were once found on the mainland Australia. Now these Devils are only residing in Tasmania and hence their befitting name. Archaeological evidences indicate that before the European settlement in the continent, these devils resided on the mainland Australia. They love to reside along the coastal heath where there is open dry sclerophyllous or mixed sclerophyllous rain forests. The devils are scavengers and feed on almost every available food. Blessed with powerful jaws and sharp teeth, they completely devour their prey's bones, meat and all. They are also fond of reptiles, amphibians, insects, sea squirts and carcasses of sheep as well as cattle. They are always famous to make rowdy communal feeding at carcasses. They generally eat almost everything that is of animal origin, from the mammals larger than itself to the carrions. They even consume almost every part of a kangaroo or a sheep, not even sparing the skull. With time they have gathered quite a daring reputation of sheep-killers.

Their natural habitat is dry bush and scrub land. According to fossils found in Australia, at one time these animals occurred on the mainland, but became extinct about 500 years ago, even before European settlement began. It is believed that the dingo has ousted the Tasmanian devil from Australia. Tasmanian Devils - Description Tasmanian devils are the world's largest living carnivorous marsupials. Their body size varies greatly depending on habitat and available food. The average size is like a small dog. The body of a Tasmanian devil resembles that of a small bear.

The largest of which reaches up to 12 kg in weight and 30 cm high at the shoulders. The body length is about 60-65 cm. The tail is at least two thirds of the body length. The legs are short.

Tasmanian devils live about 6-7 years both in the wild and in captivity.

The size of a small dog , it became the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world following the extinction of the thylacine in 1936. It is characterised by its stocky and muscular build, black fur, pungent odour, extremely loud and disturbing screech, keen sense of smell, and ferocity when feeding. The Tasmanian devil's large head and neck allow it to generate the strongest bite per unit body mass of any living mammal, and it hunts prey and scavenges carrion as well as eating household products if humans are living nearby. Although it is usually solitary, it sometimes eats with other devils and defecates in a communal location. Unlike most other dasyurids, the devil is able to

There are devils living in Tasmania! These devils aren't after your soul, though. They are small animals living on this island southeast of Australia. Their bad temper and screeching screams led European settlers to call them devils. When fighting for a mate or a meal, they bare their teeth, lunge at each other, and growl wildly. The inside of their ears turns bright red! Tasmanian devils are mammals. They have black fur. Sometimes, they have white patches around their chests and rumps. Tasmanian devils are stocky animals with a shape similar to a baby bear. They weigh from nine to twenty-six pounds. Adults grow to twenty to thirty inches long. Devils are the largest meat-eating marsupials. Marsupials are mammals, too. A female Tasmanian devil gives birth to about thirty babies at a very early stage. The babies are about as big as raisins. The babies are called joeys. The joeys must climb into the mother's pouch. She only has four nipples. The first four joeys to make it into the pouch will live. The others will die. She carries the joeys inside her pouch for several more months. Kangaroos, koalas, and wombats are also marsupials.

It has been suggested that its absence in many previously occupied areas can be explained by competition with the introduced dingo in Australia. Nowak, 1991 Biogeographic Regions: australian native Habitat Tasmanian devils are numerous throughout Tasmania except in areas where there has been extensive habitat fragmentation and deforestation. They are most numerous in coastal heath and rangeland areas where agricultural practices maintain a constant supply of carrion. They also occur in open, dry schlerophyll forest and mixed schlerophyll rainforest. Their dens typically are located in hollow logs, caves, or burrows. DPIWE and Nature Conservation Branch, 2005

FACTS ABOUT THE TASMANIAN DEVIL DESCRIPTION One of the characteristics of a Tasmanian Devil is its large ears, head and shoulders, powerful set of jaws and strong canine teeth. The Tasmanian Devil is black with a white stripe across the rump and chest. The Tasmanian Devil usually grows to between 50 centimetres to 60 centimetres long. It usually stands between 20 centimetres and 30 centimetres at the shoulder and can weigh up to 12kg but usually weighs between 6kg to 10kg Habitat The Tasmanian Devil lives in Tasmania. It used to live on the mainland but became extinct on there 600 years ago because of the dingoes. The Tasmanian Devil lives all over Tasmania except for a small corner of South West Tasmania. They live in areas where there is dense bush or scrub land and make their home in hollow logs and rocks. Diet The Tasmanian Devil is a carnivorous marsupial which means they eat meat. They will kill birds and small animals but the Tasmanian Devil is mainly a scavenger that prefers to eat the carcasses of dead animals. They are not good hunters and so prefer to scavenge for their food. This is good for the farmers because they clear up dead animals and stop disease from spreading. They eat basically everything and this means they eat bones, fur and everything else. They eat possums, small wallabies, kangaroos, reptiles, they steal eggs they basically eat anything. Behaviour Although Tasmanian Devils look and sound ferocious, they can become very friendly. The Tasmanian Devil competes with the Spotted tail Quoll for food but it could also be its saviour in Tasmania. The Tasmanian Devil fights for food and survival. They have a ferocious sounding growl which contributed to their name because the early settlers thought they sounded like a devil. It has a whining growl followed by a cough or hollow fearsome growl when angry. Their ears are usually pink but turn red when they are angry or distressed.

Well, devils in Tasmania are not interested in stealing our souls. Nevertheless, their forceful look, screeching screams, and bad temper are so unpleasant that the European settlers who first discovered these solitary, nocturnal animals decided to call them "devils." Tasmanian devils wear black fur coats. Sometimes, they have white patches around their chests and rumps. Tasmanian devils are stocky. Measuring 30-44 inches long (including their tails of 9-12 inches) and weighing 9-26 pounds, Tasmanian devils are the largest carnivorous (meat-eating) marsupials. Marsupials are unusual mammals. A female marsupial gives birth to her baby at a very early stage. She carries it inside her pouch where the baby grows and completes its development. Aside from Tasmanian devils, kangaroos, koalas, and wombats are also marsupials.
