A TASMANIAN devil, to be precise.
She looks docile enough, though. She's just had a pup, which is important as they are being wiped out in Tasmania by a virus.
Breeding them on the mainland is essential to ensure the species is maintained.
They are the size of a medium dog, but with a jaw pressure that can snap bone...including human bone...with ease.
They are shy and don't attack unless threatened. But if you do happen to stumble across one in the bush, make tracks fast.

They are a little smaller than the North American badger.

Barrel wash is redneck champagne. Barrel or swish is cheap homemade hooch made by filling a freshly used whiskey barrel with water, recorking it and lying it on its side in the sun. Every day, one rotates the barrel a quarter turn. Usually within two weeks or so, the alcohol that has been absorbed in the wood of the barrel leeches into the water, and you have a barrel of watered-down whiskey to drink.

If it's dead, they're on it. So roadkill attracts devils who can become roadkill themselves. Dunno if they cannibalize but it wouldn't surprise me. Meat is meat to a devil.

Not too far across the Tasman Sea, an equally odd creature exists in New Zealand but it is not a marsupial. I had to wait til dark to have a look at it. A flightless creature that is part of the bird family, the kiwi. Although known to be nocturnal, the kiwi has been observed during the day in places such as sanctuaries where there were no predators.Quote from: "@realAzhyaAryola"(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22http://talismancoins.com/content/catalog/Southern_Brown_Tokoeka_Kiwi_New_Zealand.jpg%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22http://talismancoins.com/content/catalo%20...%20ealand.jpg%22%3Ehttp://talismancoins.com/content/catalog/Southern_Brown_Tokoeka_Kiwi_New_Zealand.jpg%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)
