Tasmanian devils
Black carnivorous marsupials
Tasmanian devils are carnivorous marsupials native to the Australian island of Tasmania.
About the size of a small dog, they're known for powerful jaws, black fur, and loud, unsettling screeches—the source of their devilish name.
Once widespread across mainland Australia, they now survive only in Tasmania.
The Tasmanian devil population has been devastated by facial tumor disease.
