T is for Tasmanian Devil The Tasmanian Devil is a Carnivorous (means it eats meat) Marsupial (means it carries its babies in a pouch on its stomach like a kangaroo) that comes from Tasmania. Tasmanian Devils are the largest surviving Carnivorous Marsupials in Australia. Devils can run up to 13 km (8.1 mi) per hour for short distances. The fur is usually black, although irregular white patches on the chest and rump are common. Males are usually larger than females, having an average body length of 25.7 in, and an average weight of 18 lb. Tasmanian Devils are characterized by extremely loud and disturbing screech, and ferocity when feeding.
