Clio's Animal of the Week #8: Tasmanian Devil



Tasmanian Devils are carnivores.  They only live in Tasmania, which is an island south of Australia.  Tasmanian Devils are an endangered species.  They usually live by themselves but sometimes eat in a group.  They weigh about 12kg when they are grown up.  They can climb trees and swim. They are nocturnal.  The Tasmanian Devil is the only marsupial that eats meat.  Their bite is as strong as a 40kg dog's bite.  I saw the Tasmanian Devil at Lone Pine Koala sanctuary.  They have little, cute pink ears.

    Dear Clio, I thought the tasmanian devil was an imaginary animal because
    of its curious name. But in your picture, he looks like a cute teddy bear!
    Thanks for showing it.
    Love and kisses, AYA
