The Tasmanian Devil has an oversized head, housing strong, muscular jaws that can deliver one of the most powerful bites of any mammal.

Devils@Cradle is great, though small, is great because it shows the visitors how Tasmanian Devils actually interact realisitically, like they're in the wild, around dinner time. Incredibly ferocious, you could acutally hear the bones cracking at they ate this piece of Pademelon roadkill brought in from the National Park roads.
Tasmanian Devil - Sarcophilus harrisii
The Tasmanian Devil is the second largest carnivorous marsupial in the world, second only to the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, which though considered recently extinct (early 1900s), a very slight possibility of their existence still remains and there are thousands of unconfirmed but reliable sightings since the death of the 'last' Thylacine in 1936 cannot be ignored.
Unfortunately, the Devil too faces extinction. In 1996, the first example of Devil Facial Tumour disease was found on a female devil on the east side of the island. Within 14 years, the 100% fatal cancer has killed more than 95% of the wild Tasmanian Devil population. Because of the Devils aggressive nature towards each other, they will often (particularly when competing for food around a carcass) nip or bite each other. The cancer cells are grafted on to the other devils jaw by the diseased devil during this behaviour, and because of thousands of years of developing on a small, confined island, the genetics are so similar, almost identical, like twins, that the immune system does not realise that the cancer cells are alien. The tumour grows without defiance, and kills the devil within less than a year.
A natural geographical boundary of mountains and rough terrain still remains, however, which acts as a natural fence between the diseased Devils on the east side of the island and the disease free devils on the west side. However, the effectiveness of the geographical fence can not be the only thing that must be depended on to save the devils. Zoos and sanctuaries all over Tasmania and the Mainland have taken in a population of devils for captive breeding programs, to ensure a population fit to restart the species when reintroduced into the Tasmanian wilds. So far there are about 600 in captivity, but at least 1000 will be needed before any hope of a successful reintroduction can even be hoped for.
A little known fact about the Tasmanian Devil is that for it's size it has the strongest jaws of any animal. When feeding together devils will consume the entire animal, sometimes only leaving a small bit of fur behind. In a Tasmanian Devil feeding scrum the gory sound of bones cracking becomes very regular.
Also, despite what some might say, the Tasmanian Devil is very capable of hunting. It will more often scavenge, as it is far easier for it, but they do have an ability to hunt that is not given enought credit to, however slightly limited it is.
For the monthly scavenger hunt "Hard Boiled Wonderland" category. My family always thinks it wonderland when I make these. They are family favourite that I seldom think to make. Thank goodness for this category as they got to have devilled eggs again.
This amazing exhibition tells the story of arguably the Greatest Munitions Factory on Earth, which was constructed on the Anglo-Scottish Border between scenic Dornock in Scotland and bustling Longtown in England. During 1915, Britain was at a massive disadvantage in the early part of the Great War through lack of a decent and consistent supply of quality ammunition.
That is until 30,000 women and men travelled from all over the world to come and work in this one massive factory, purpose built by the government on the northern shore of the Solway Firth specifically to mass manufacture cordite: a smokeless explosive usually made from nitro-glycerine and nitro-cotton that would go on to turn the battle around! Within 2 years this one uber factory was producing 1,100 tons of cordite a week, which was more than all the other munitions plants in Britain put together!
Rainbow at Devils Pool, Victoria Falls / Zambia Africa / Oct 2009 //
Photo taken as my group / friends are jumping in the pool as I watched !
Picture from Zambia side. On left , through the mist , the trees you see are in Zimbabwe.
The Zimbabwe side of the falls, from the town of Victoria falls, is the best place to view the full scope of the falls.
I did not get in the Devils Pool because of my broken / smashed leg ( I hit a Tree while daydreaming on skis in FEB 2009 at Breckenridge Colorado) .
The friends', in the photo were with my group that day to the Devils pool. .All of us Travel Agents, touring Zambia on this trip in October 2009. The pool is only accessible during the "low Flow" season of the Zambezi river.

Quite an old piece, only now got the chance to take pictures of it.
