Tasmanian devils have an undeserved reputation for being
aggressive. They are actually shy and reclusive, living alone, yet
(somewhat incongruously) gathering together to feed. Tasmanian
devils only display aggression when they are asserting their
dominance as they gather to feed on a carcass, or as part of their
mating ritual. Like all wild animals, Tasmanian devils will have
their playful moments.
