Tasmanian Devil running around in circles In the Wilderness - Devil Devil in the Wilderness Devil silhouette on the Mount Tasmanian devils are nocturnal animals, spending their days alone in hollow logs, caves, or burrows, and emerging at night to feed.

They use their excellent sense of smell and sight to avoid predators and locate prey and carrion. They are voracious eaters and will consume everything—including hair, organs, and bones.

Called devil facial tumor disease DFTD , this fatal condition is a rare contagious cancer that causes lumps to form around the animal's mouth and head, making it hard for it to eat.

Scientists are working hard to find a way to stop the spread of DFTD before it wipes the species out. All rights reserved. Personality Quizzes. Funny Fill-In. Amazing Animals. Weird But True! Party Animals. Try This! Explore More.
