Amazing Wildlife Photos Tasmanian Devil #Video

Tasmanian Devils were once Australia’s largest living marsupial carnivore and were widespread over the mainland. However, the introduction of the dingo is thought to have caused their extinction and today, the Tasmanian Devil is found only on the island state of Tasmania. They typically weigh 9 to 26 pounds and measure 20 to 31 inches in body length. They are robust, muscular marsupials with a distinctive appearance. These marsupials have stocky bodies with thick, bushy tails. Their fur is mainly black, often with white patches on their chest and rump. Their head is broad and square-shaped with large, rounded ears. They possess a strong jaw and sharp teeth, including large molars adapted for crushing bones and tearing flesh. Their bite force is among the strongest relative to body size in any mammal. They have strong, clawed paws that are well-suited for digging and climbing.
