Summary

Renowned as a small but ferocious predator, the TASMANIAN DEVIL is held in awe by people around the world. DID YOU KNOW? ... The Tasmanian Devil has the strongest bite of any animal of its size. Its long canine teeth are ideal for eating meat. A female devil will give birth to a litter of up to forty tiny imps, but only about four will crawl to their mother’ s pouch and develop into joeys – it is literally a race for life. There may only be twenty thousand devils remaining in the world – barely enough to fill a small sports stadium! Bite-sized chunks of interesting information coupled with stunning photographs combine to make this an engaging and entertaining introduction to the subject that’ s bound to capture the imagination of any reader.
