Tasmania Devil

[Ralph]

At a place called the UnZoo is where I got these shots of the Tasmania Devil.
The man doing the talking said these have got the strongest bit force of any animal.

"Strongest bite force of any animal"? But it just looks like an overgrown Guinea pig!?

Only repeating what was told to us all. The size of these is about the size of maybe a French Bulldog I would think.
When they eat they will eat all of the animal and they are not hunter but more scavengers that don't like to share.
And this is why they have got this mouth cancer thing running through a lot of them.
Though they have now got populations where this is not in them and as I look at it this is good for them.
What a horrible death I would think.
I think they are cute but I would never put my hands near them.

Terrifying little things.

Terrifying little things.

Na they're ok. Had one break into an esky while camped in the central highlands of Tas some years back. Wasn't much left of the steak and sausages! Caught him in a landing net and removed him from the camp.
