Tasmanian devils are carnivorous marsupials of Australia. They are nocturnal hunters, but they also scavenge carrion. Although they are very shy and will not confront a person, they can be very aggressive with their own kind when defending food or territory. One of their effective defence mechanisms is to emit a foul smelling odour.

Tasmanian devils occupy a very unique niche in their environment. They are assisted by numerous adaptations.

  • The most noticeable adaptation of Tasmanian devils is its excellent senses. It will use its strong sense of smell to locate carrion during the day, but especially at night. This is how it feeds.
  • The Tasmanian devil is nocturnal, and an animal that prefers dense bushland shelter. Its black coat with white stripe provides excellent camouflage in both the night, and in dense bushland and undergrowth.
  • Tasmanian devils can also emit a pungent odor as a defence mechanism when threatened.
  • It has a frightening devil-like shriek, enough to scare away a curious predator, even though this noise is usually emitted during territorial fights, rather than as a defence.
  • The Tasmanian devil is a scavenger, eating dead animals already killed by other animals, and on roadkill. There are no dingoes on the island of Tasmania, so the Tasmanian devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial on Tasmania. Devils also hunt live prey.

The Tasmanian Devil is not aggressive towards other species, but it is very territorial, and thus aggressive towards others of its own kind.
