Tasmanian Devil. Sarcophilus Harrisii, are carnivorous mammals that can live up to 5 years in the wild. They are distantly related to kangaroos and wombats. While they were once found on the mainland of Australia, now these animals are strictly found on the Australian island state of Tasmania. An adult Tasmanian Devil can grow to 31 inches in length and weigh approximately 26 lbs. This makes them the world's largest carnivorous marsupials. They prefer habitats that consist of woodlands, coastal scrublands, agricultural areas, and eucalyptus forests. Often more active during the night, Tasmanian Devils will shelter in bushes, caves, old wombat burrows, or under stones. At night, they will travel around 10 miles in search of food. Led by their great sense of smell and hearing. Their diet consists mostly of scavenging for carrion, but they are also known to hunt live prey such as birds and small mammals. Long whiskers on their face help them search in the dark. They also possess powerful jaws that can open impressively wide. These jaws help them to crunch bone while the wide range of their mouth helps them to threaten away predators. When threatened, a Tasmanian Devil will use an array of defenses such as a foul odor they can excude as well as terrifying screams and snarls used to inspire fear or to show dominance during feeding time. When confronting another Tasmanian Devil, they are known to sneeze viciously as a bluff while standing nose to nose with the other Tasmanian Devil. During this, their ears will flush a vibrant red color. Even though they are solitary, they will often feed on carcasses as groups. Tasmanian Devils will also come together for breeding. A female will give birth to around 50 babies that are pink, hairless, and very small. These undeveloped young are called imps and must crawl across their mother's stomach after birth to reach her pouch using their already developed claws. However, there are only four teats within her pouch so the fastest to reach it are the ones who survive. These imps will remain in her pouch, nursing and growing, for up to four months. After growing large enough to leave the pouch, the imps will then ride on their mother's back or remain in the den while she hunts. Weaning occurs at around 6 months old and they are able to leave their mother at 9 months old.
