They are bad-tempered and cantankerous, they will bite anybody and anything that comes within range. It is not for nothing they are called 'Devils'
Tasmanian devils have a reputation for being "bad tempered and cantankerous", but this is not necessarily the case. In reality, they shun contact with other species.
Tasmanian devils bite each other when feeding. This is behaviour to assert their dominance. The males in particular will fight (and bite) during breeding season. Similarly, they will bite anything that they perceive as a predator, and this often includes humans who try to get too close.
