5 Interesting Facts About Tasmanian Devils!

Tasmanian devils have the strongest bite force relative to body size of any living mammal - they can crunch through bone with ease and consume prey entirely, including fur, bones and organs. Nothing is wasted.
Their famous screech is used for communication rather than aggression - the blood-curdling shriek that terrified early European settlers is primarily a contact call and a way of expressing discomfort, not an attack warning.
Baby Tasmanian devils are born the size of a grain of rice - after a gestation of just 21 days, up to 50 joeys are born and race to the mother's pouch, which has only four teats. Only four survive.
They were reintroduced to mainland Australia in 2020 - absent from the continent for around 3,000 years (eliminated by dingoes), a population was released into a wildlife sanctuary in New South Wales as part of a rewilding project.
A contagious cancer threatened the species with extinction - devil facial tumour disease is one of only a handful of transmissible cancers known in nature, spreading through biting. Conservation breeding programmes have been critical to their survival.
