It finds a den in hollow logs or cave. It makes a bed out of bark, leaves or grass.

CHARACTERISTICS

The colour of the Tasmanian devil is black with white spots. It grows up to 90cm long. It has up to 4 babies who live for 15 weeks in their mother's pouch. It is a marsupial.

INFORMATION AND INTERESTING HABITS

The Tasmanian devil screams to warn other animals that this is his or her property or food. It is nocturnal so that means it sleeps during the day. It has 42 bone crushing teeth.
