The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is a carnivorous marsupial mammal that is native to Tasmania. It was once widespread on the Australian mainland, but 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. Their habitat is eucalypt forest, woodlands, heath and farmland. They are terrestrial and mostly nocturnal and eat insects, mammals up to the size of a wombat, and carrion.
