Tasmanian devils are only aggressive when they are asserting their dominance as they gather to feed on a carcass, or as part of their mating ritual. At these times, they are very aggressive.
Outside of these situations, Tasmanian devils are shy and reclusive, and would certainly rather run from human contact than confront people.
