All tough its is illegal to harm the Tasmanian devil heaps are killed on the road each year, but the main problem is their tumours. They can get these tumours on their faces which can harm them and also kill them.

Yes. Tasmanian devils do have sharp claws. The Tasmanian devil uses its sharp claws for climbing trees, and for defence. Their courtship is also an extensive ritual that lasts many days, and which involves the male biting and scratching the female into submission.

Yes: a human could outrun a Tasmanian devil. However, one would not be in a position to need to. Tasmanian devils are not aggressive hunters of humans.

it looks bony

Males grow to about 650 mm and 9 kg, females grow to 570 mm and 7 kg.

Tasmanian devils are carnivorous marsupials of Australia. They are nocturnal hunters, but they also scavenge carrion. Although they are very shy and will not confront a person, they can be very aggressive with their own kind when defending food or territory. One of their effective defence mechanisms is to emit a foul smelling odour.

Tasmanian devils live by preying on small mammals and birds, and scavenging carrion. They are nocturnal feeders. They hide in dense undergrowth and bushland, or they hide in caves and old wombat burrows.

they are black

• The Tasmanian devil is nocturnal, and an animal that prefers dense bushland shelter. Therefore, it has a black coat with white stripe provides excellent camouflage in both the night, and in dense bushland and undergrowth.
• Tasmanian devils can emit a pungent odor as a defence mechanism when threatened.
• Tasmanian devils have very strong jaws which they use for ripping open their prey and feeding on carrion.

From about 1996, the Tasmanian Devil has been threatened by a fatal form of cancer called "Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD)" which has killed large numbers of Tasmanian devils, resulting in an "Endangered" classification. It was officially added to the Endangered species list early in 2009.

No. Tasmanian devils are found only in Australia, on the island state of Tasmania. The Great Smoky Mountains are in the United States, not Tasmania.

The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), a carnivorous marsupial native to Tasmania, was once widespread on the Australian mainland. It is thought that the arrival of the Dingo and possibly climate change at the end of the last ice age, may have contributed to its extinction on the mainland. The dingo proved to be a bigger, stronger competitor, and there is strong evidence that its presence wiped out the Tasmanian devil's relative, the Thylacine (or Tasmanian tiger) from the mainland so there is every chance it had the same effect on the Tasmanian devil. As for climate change - it possibly reduced the food sources for the Tasmanian devil. There remains more bushy undergrowth, and thick rainforest for the Tasmanian devil's food to hide in on the island of Tasmania.

No.

Tasmanian devils are protected by law, so it is illegal to have one as a pet.

They also would not make very good pets, as they are not affectionate or "cuddly", but would be more likely to cause you severe damage if you were to get in between the animal and its food.

Having said that, however, its reputation for being vicious and bad tempered is somewhat undeserved.

The Tasmanian Davil Facial Tumour Disease started with wild populations of Tasmanian devils in northeast Tasmania in 1996. It rapidly spread from there but, to date, wild populations in the western third of the state appear unaffected.

No. Tasmanian devils tend to be solitary animals.

Since the Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, became extinct, the Tasmanian devil has had no other native competitors. However, since the fairly recent introduction of the fox, the fox has become a rival.

Tasmanian devils live in the habitat of temperate native forests and cool-temperate forests of Tasmania, as well as on the edges of farmland, as a result of their natural habitat being cleared. Average temperatures in summer range between 17 and 23 degrees Celsius (62 and 73 degrees Fahrenheit), while winter temperatures tend to range between 0 and 11 degrees Celsius (37 and 51 degrees Fahrenheit).

Tasmanian devils communicate by vocalisations, scent and body language. The leading scientific organisation in Australia, the CSIRO, has identified 11 different vocalisations and 20 visual postures or types of body language, as well as various chemical emissions.

They are both capable of doing each other serious damage in their own way, but they do not come into conflict in their native environment, so we will probably never find out.
