Tasmanian devils are carnivorous marsupials, or dasyurids. They are not aggressive as their name suggests, but are instead shy and reclusive. They are both predators and scavengers.
Tasmanian devils are classified as marsupials because:
The Tasmanian devil is a mammal. It is a dasyurid, or carnivorous marsupial. Its short, stocky body is covered with black fur with a few white markings, and it has powerful jaws for its size.
The Tasmanian devil is the largest living marsupial carnivore (since the believed extinction of the Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger), one of the members of the Dasyurid family, which are the carnivorous marsupials. It is found only on the Australian island state of Tasmania, although there is evidence to suggest it was once found on the mainland. Its habitat is the forests and bushland, particularly where there is heavy undergrowth.
A nocturnal hunter, the Tasmanian Devil eats other mammals, and is an opportunistic feeder, readily eating carrion and roadkill. It has a stout and muscular body, and black fur with a white streak across the chest, which assists the creature to camouflage in its native forest habitat. Males grow to about 650 mm and 9 kg, females grow to 570 mm and 7 kg.
The Tasmanian devil earned its common name because of its blood-curdling nocturnal screams.
From about 1996, the Tasmanian Devil has been threatened by a fatal form of cancer called "Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD)" which has killed more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 45% of adults in medium to low density areas resulting in an "Endangered" classification.
