Scream!
This female Tasmanian Devil is named “Charlotte”. I photographed her at the Devils@Cradle wildlife park in Tasmania.
Tasmanian Devils have a reputation for making a lot of noise, and we certainly experienced them screaming. However, contrary to popular believe, the Devils are not all that aggressive, and scream to try to intimidate their enemies.
There’s more info about the Tasmanian Devils in my blog
Now also available as a t-shirt.

Charlotte (as shown above) is a small female – there were other devils (both male and female) at the park that were larger than her.
According to wikipedia:
Males are usually larger than females, having an average head and body length of 652 mm (25.7 in), with a 258 mm (10.2 in) tail, and an average weight of 8 kg (18 lb). Females have an average head and body length of 570 mm (22 in), with a 244 mm (9.6 in) tail, and an average weight of 6 kg (13 lb).
