Tasmanian devils are carnivores, meaning they feed on a variety of other animals. They feed on mammals up to the size of a wallaby, birds, reptiles and even insects. They hunt live animals, and they also feed on carcasses, serving the very useful function of cleaning up the environment of dead animals.
They are solitary animals, preferring to hunt and feed alone, and they become aggressive with any other Tasmanian devils that might be nearby when they are feeding. They also like to hide in caves, old wombat burrows, or thick undergrowth during the daytime, as they are nocturnal.
