Tasmanian Devils are carnivorous marsupials. They are both hunters and scavengers. What this means is that, although they do hunt live creatures, they will scavenge carrion, eating animals which are already dead. They perform a very useful function by cleaning up the environment of dead and decaying animals, especially road kill.
