Tasmanian Devil
Characterised by its stocky and muscular build, black fur, pungent odour, extremely loud and disturbing screech, keen sense of smell, and ferocity when feeding. The Tasmanian devil's large head and neck allow it to generate amongst the strongest bite per unit body mass of any extant mammal land predator, and it hunts prey and scavenges carrion as well as eating household products if humans are living nearby. Despite its rotund appearance, the devil is capable of surprising speed and endurance, and can climb trees and swim across rivers.

This is Devils Churn on the Oregon coast. A channel has been eroded from the basalt from constant wave action that pulses through it. I am told that the collection of debris including sea shells, crustacians, kelp and God know what else, is ground against the rocks and forms a thick soup which looks like butter floating on the sea. Thus the name Devils Churn.
The Devils Backbone is a large vertical wall of dark andesite about 305m in length and 15m wide at its widest point. It was formed when lava forced its way up cracks and filled them, remaining standing when the rest of the formation had eroded away.
