Tasmanian Devils are very territorial marsupials. They live in dens. They make a scary sound to scare off other devils from their food, and that’s how they got the name ‘devils’.

​

Tasmanian devils are extinct from the mainland of Australia. They are threatened by cars and a disease called Devil Facial Tumour Disease that spreads between them when they fight.
