* The Tasmanian Devil is found only in Tasmania, the Australian island state south of the mainland. The skunk is found throughout most parts of North America. * The Tasmanian Devil is a marsupial (actually a dasyurid, a carnivorous marsupial) whilst the skunk is a placental mammal. * The Tasmanian devil is at the top of the food chain, being a predator and a scavenger of both live prey and carrion, and has no native predators in Tasmania. The skunk is subject to predation by bobcats and other large animals, and it feeds on smaller mammals, birds' eggs and insects. * Tasmanian Devils can emit a very foul odour when threatened, but it is not a spray, whereas a skunk can actually emit a foul-smelling spray which has a maximum range of 4-7 metres (1m being more common). * There is just one species of Tasmanian Devil, but 13 types of skunk. * The Tasmanian Devil has a smaller tail, unlike the skunk's quite large, bushy tail.

What are some similarities between a Wombat and a Tasmanian Devil?
Both creatures are endemic to Australia, but the wombat is found in parts of the southeastern mainland, while the Tasmanian devil has, from the time of European settlement, only ever been known in Tasmania.The wombat is herbivorous, while the Tasmanian devil is carnivorous, feeding on live prey, and scavenging carrion.Wombats burrow for shelter, while Tasmanian devils do not, simply hiding in undergrowth, caves or logs.Tasmanian devils emit an unearthly, piercing, frightening shriek when making territorial claims over food and mates. Wombats merely grunt.For defence, Tasmanian devils have sharp claws and teeth, and can emit a foul smell rather like the skunk does. Wombats burrow with their thick, reinforced rear end facing the entrance to the burrow which is quite a tight fit. Prey can rarely penetrate their thick hide, and they have no tail by which they can be pulled out.There is just one type of Tasmanian devil. There are three species of wombats: the common wombat, the Northern hairy-nosed wombat, and the Southern hairy-nosed wombat.Tasmanian devils are being afflicted with a terrible cancer known as Devil Facial Tumour Disease and which, unless a cure is soon found, could see the extinction of wild Tasmanian devils. There is no such disease affecting wombats.The closest relative to the wombat is the koala. The Tasmanian devil is a dasyurid, or carnivorous marsupial, so its closest living relatives are other dasyurids, such as quolls.
Why do Tasmanian Devils have stripes?
They don't. Tasmanian devils used to be found throughout the Australian mainland, as well as Tasmania and even New Guinea. 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 Australian mainland. However, they have continued to exist on the island of Tasmania because Tasmania has retained the cool temperate climate thought to once be in Australia and New Guinea, and the dingo has never made it to the island.
