More information about Tasmanian Devil

Tasmanian devils are almost always black and have white spots around its chest. They are about 30 cm in length and can weigh up to 12 kg. They are marsupials so the females carry their youngs in their pouches. Tasmanian Devil pretty much eats anything and they eat 5-10 % of their body weight each day! (If a Devil weighs 10 kg, they will eat about 1 kg per DAY.) Thylacines (or also known as Tasmanian Tiger) used to hunt Tasmanian Devils, but now they're extinct. Large birds hunt young devils in the day and large nocturnal animals hunt the young devils at night. If the adult devils are really, really desperate, they might even eat the young Tasmanian Devils! Adult devils don't have any predators.
