11 Tasmanian Devil
The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial native to the island of Tasmania in Australia. It is characterized by its stocky build, black fur, and powerful jaws. Tasmanian devils are known for their fierce temperament and distinctive vocalizations that include screeches and growls. They have a strong bite that enables them to consume bone and cartilage, giving them a reputation as scavengers. Sadly, the Tasmanian devil population has been threatened by a contagious cancer known as Devil Facial Tumor Disease, which has led to a significant decline in their numbers. Conservation efforts are in place to help protect this iconic species.
