The Tasmanian Devil is a carnivorous marsupial native to Tasmania, an island state of Australia. Known for its stocky build and black fur, it has a distinctive white stripe across its chest. These nocturnal animals are primarily scavengers, feeding on carrion, but they also hunt small animals. Tasmanian Devils are known for their loud, disturbing screeches and aggressive feeding behavior. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to control the population of other species. Unfortunately, they face threats from habitat loss and a contagious cancer known as Devil Facial Tumor Disease, which has significantly reduced their population.
