Tasmanian devils are carnivorous marsupials, or dasyurids. They are not aggressive as their name suggests, but are instead shy and reclusive. They are, however, very territorial. They are both predators and scavengers.
Physically, a Tasmanian devil has a stout body with a broad head. It has black fur with a white streak across the chest. Its ears tend to turn red when it is disturbed or fighting.
Tasmanian devils are classified as marsupials because:
- they are warm blooded vertebrates
- they have fur, skin or hair
- they breathe using lungs
- they have live young which feed off mother's milk
