Tasmanian devils are a special kind of mammal called a marsupial, which only live in Australia. They are the largest meat eating marsupial in the world. These marsupials live only on an island south of mainland Australia called, Tasmania. Isn't it interesting that these marsupials have their own island named after them?



Tasmanian devils look like small bears. They have brown and black fur, usually with a white stripe across their chest. A fully grown Tasmanian Devil is about the size of a small dog. Although they may look like cuddly little bears, they are actually quite ferocious.
