Title - Tasmanian Devil



Scientific Name:- Sarcophilus harrisii

  Picture of Tasmanian Devil Description:
A distinctive black or very dark brown, with a white band across the chest, the male Tasmanian devil will attain a total length of around 90cm including the tail and weight over 8kg. Females rarely exceed 80cm in length and 6kg in weight. The head is dog-like and the ears are large and pinkish-red in colour. The sense of smell is exceptionally acute enabling the animals to locate dead food items from many kilometres.
 
  Habitat:
The Tasmanian devil prefers wet sclerophyll forest or woodland. It usually lives in a log, cave or the disused burrow of another animal, emerging at night to scavenge and forage.
