Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Tasmanian Devil Many people are familiar with the popular cartoon character the Tasmanian Devil, but just how much do Taz and his real-life namesake actually have in common? The non-animated version of the Tasmanian devil is a nocturnal carnivorous marsupial. It is native to Tasmania , a state of Australia south of the eastern part of the mainland of the country and separated from it by the 240 km stretch of Bass Strait. Male devils can weigh up to about 25 pounds and are about a foot tall at the shoulder. By most accounts, the devil got its name from European settlers because of its loud screech , black color and reputedly nasty attitude. But when you hear the devil's cry, you can guess that the stories may well be true that it was above all the sounds it made at night that led the settlers to choose the name they did. Tasmanian devils are nocturnal, and have a very healthy appetite. The diet of a Tasmanian devil can include sheep, cattle, wallabies, reptiles, birds, fish and wombat. The devil is a scavenger and will eat whatever is available, even road kill. Unlike in the cartoons, a real Tasmanian devil doesn't spin. They do have very strong jaws, large heads, and long whiskers. They live to be about 5 years old in the wild, and have an excellent sense of hearing. During the 1930s and 40s the devil became very rare and many people worried that the devil was on its way to extinction. However, the devil adapted to the changes in its environment and thrives in Tasmania today.
