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.
Tasmanian devil is the correct spelling.
Tasmanian devils do not eat other live Tasmanian devils. They will, however, readily feed on the carcass of another Tasmanian devil that has died.
The Tasmanian Devil has an average body length of 55 - 90 cm (22 - 35 inches), which includes its short tail. Females are smaller, and do not usually exceed 80cm in length. Its height is only around 30 cm. Females weigh up to 6kg and males may weigh as much as 8 kg.
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. Foxes have been introduced fairly recently into Tasmania, and they, too, are competition for the Tasmanian devil.
The female Tasmanian devil is much smaller than the male, but apart from that, there is little difference between the two, aside from the obvious difference of male and female reproductive organs. The Tasmanian devil is a marsupial, and the female therefore has a pouch in which she rears her young.
The Tasmanian devil has a conservation status of Endangered.
The Tasmanian devil belongs to the class Mammalia.
No, the Tasmanian devil does not live in the desert.
rat + pouch = tasmanian devil
