The Tasmanian devil is frightening, creepy, and dreadful to look at. It's the size of a small dog, and its body resembles that of a small bear. The animal is black or brownish and has a white throat patch and white spots on the sides. The skull is flat and all the teeth are crowded together to give the mouth a powerful look. The upper incisors are rather long, sharp and, well, devilish.
