Males grow to about 650 mm and 9 kg, females grow to 570 mm and 7 kg.
The average weight of an adult Tasmanian Devil may range from about 7kg for females to 11 kg for males. Interestingly, the animal's neck and head alone may make up to almost a quarter of the Tasmanian devil's total weight.
Fossil evidence indicates that the Tasmanian devil once lived on the Australian mainland. Tasmanian devil fossils have been found across much of Australia's southern region.
