| | Tasmanian Devil
  The Tasmanian devil belies its fierce appearance and awesome name by having difficult in killing a rat and is itself easily killed by a dog. Lean and mean.
The Tasmanian devil gets its name from its ferocious personality and its snarling growl, but it can also be shy and reclusive.
It grows to about 1 metere long. The "Tassie" devil is an aggressive meat-eater, generally doing it's hunting at night. |
