The Tasmanian Devil is quite the character. These predators (/scavengers...) are capable not only of generating one of the strongest bites per unit body mass of any beast, but also---arguably---possess the goods to produce the 5th highest rating on the Æternal Indices of The Cuteness, (higher even than Kristen Stewart), as compiled and tirelessly evaluated/re-etc.'d by the 3rd cousin, twice removed, of the co-author of The Golden Age of Ballooning, vol. 43. Guess it runs in the family. At *any* rate, these fierce marsupials will tear your throat out for you, and are also cute as hell.

Because I am, and have been, an admirer of a certain now-extinct species, the particulars of which shall, or shall not, be disclosed at some point, it happens to be of some interest to me, as a human who hardly shies away from the likes of "gallows-humor"-type scenarios, that a certain someone else---namely, your Tasmanian Devil, or Harris's Flesh-Eater---actually benefited, in a sense, from the untimely demise of the ol' species I mentioned admiring about 19 minutes ago. When the Thylacine "joined the choir" as a species, in 1936, Sarcophilus harrisii then occupied the coveted position of being *The* Largest Carnivorous Marsupial in, oh, the entire World. Still the Largest ever to exist, however, would be your Marsupial Lion, which, despite the oft-heard phrase "Wolf-sized Marsupial Lion", was about as big as a damn tiger! In my opinion, this could be considered excessive, size-wise, for a carnivorous marsupial.
