If there was the opportunity, a dingo might eat a Tasmanian devil. However, there are several reasons why it would be extremely unlikely:
- There are no dingoes in Tasmania, which is the only Australian state where Tasmanian devils are still found in the wild.
- Tasmanian devils are capable of defending themselves effectively with their sharp teeth and strong jaws.

What competition does a Tasmanian Devil have?
The Tasmanian devil's only native competitor for food is the quol. However, the quoll is a much smaller dasyurid, and is certainly not a competitor for the carrion which Tasmanian devils eat.
