The Tasmanian devil is mostly black, with some white markings. Its colouring enables it to merge into its thick bushland shelter, and assists it as a nocturnal creature. Its black coat with white stripe provides excellent camouflage in both the night, and in dense bushland and undergrowth. When defending its territory or fighting over food, blood flow to its ears increases, turning them red.
