Tasmanian Devil
Meet the Tasmanian Devil, Australia’s largest carnivorous marsupial and a true survivor of the wild. Known for its spine-chilling screeches and feisty demeanor, this black-furred “devil” captivates visitors with its raw, untamed charisma. Despite its small dog-like size, it boasts one of nature’s strongest bite forces—capable of crushing bones—earning its fierce reputation.
