Tasmanian Devil

by Jack

       Tasmanian Devils live in Tasmania.  They weigh between 6 to 8 kgs and their tail is 9 to 12 in. long. They eat carrion or dead animals no matter how old or rotten.  Tasmanian Devils are not aggressive until it comes to food.  They devour the whole carcass meat, fur, and all, leaving nothing to pollute the forest.  
       Tasmanian Devils let out spine-chilling screeches which is why they ared named "devil."
       Their babies called joeys are born blind and deaf and little more than a grain of rice in size. They weigh less than a pound.
