2021 $1 Dreaming Down Under Tasmanian Devil PNC

The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) takes its name from the blood-curdling cry that colonists of its home island would hear during the dark of night. This typically solitary nocturnal animal - the world's largest extant carnivorous marsupial - would be roaming for food, mainly comprising scavenged carrion. Although Tasmanian Devils prefer to scavenge for food, they will also predate fish, insects, snakes and small birds.
