Are Tasmanian devils rodents

Answer 1

Tasmanian Devils are the only members of their Genus, which means they have no close relatives. They are, of course, distantly related to other marsupials and, since marsupials are technically mammals, even more distantly related to the rest of us. == ==

Answer 2

Yes.

The Tasmanian devil is the largest living marsupial carnivore (since the believed extinction of the Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger), one of the members of the Dasyurid family, which are the carnivorous marsupials. It is found only on the Australian island state of Tasmania, although there is evidence to suggest it was once found on the mainland. Its habitat is the forests and bushland, particularly where there is heavy undergrowth.

A nocturnal hunter, the Tasmanian Devil eats other mammals, and is an opportunistic feeder, readily eating carrion and roadkill. It has a stout and muscular body, and black fur with a white streak across the chest, which assists the creature to camouflage in its native forest habitat.

Answer 3

The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is a carnivorous marsupial mammal that is native to Tasmania, the southern island state of Australia.

Answer 4

No. Tasmanian devils are not rodents. They are marsupials. Rodents are placental mammals.
