The Tasmanian Devil is a carnivorous marsupial found only on the Australian island of Tasmania (obviously). It's about the size of a small dog, and is the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world. They actually, do not at all resemble the cartoon character Taz, who is supposed to be a Tasmanian devil that spins in circle in eats everything. They also, do not spin in circles quickly. A facial tumor disease has significantly reduced the population, and the species has been declared endangered.
