The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) needs no introduction. With bone-crushing jaws, haunting vocalizations, and a feisty disposition, this critter is Earth’s largest living marsupial carnivore. Weighing up to 30 pounds (13.6 kg), the Tasmanian devil is primarily a scavenger, chomping down on just about anything it can find—even if it’s rotten. Fun fact: Baby devils, which are about the size of a raisin at birth, are called imps.
