A Tasmanian Devil will tackle anything up to wombat size to get a meal. Although they are perfectly capable of removing a finger with one bite, they would not hunt humans, or attack, other than in self defense.

Live animals do make up part of the Tasmanian devil's diet. They wil eat insects, snakes, birds, fish and mammals up to the size of wallabies. However, most of their diet is made up of carrion, which means dead animals. The Tasmanian devil is bith a scavenger and a hunter.

No. Tasmanian devils are completely carnivorous. They eat a variety of meat, from insects, reptiles and birds to mammals up to the size of a wallaby. They also feed on carrion, or the bodies of dead animals, but they do not eat plant matter.

Tasmanian devils eat a variety of roadkill, including cats. However, they are unlikely to tackle live adult feral cats. They would probably attack a domestic cat that wandered too far from home.

Tasmanian tigers, more correctly known as Thylacines, do not eat Tasmanian devils. Thylacines are extinct.

Prior to the Thylacine's extinction, the two species were both at the top of the food chain, and Thylacines did not eat Tasmanian devils then, either.

No. Tasmanian devils are not used as pets; nor are they used as food.

They are wild animals, and only arrogant Man seems to think animals need to be "used" for something.
