This peewee died, too. I don't know if it was injured, or bady dehydrated when I got it, but it died.

No, they're only found in Tasmania. And even if they were on the mainland I wouldn't care for them because they're a specialist animal, even for scavengers. They're bad-temered, smelly, and have a bone-crucshing bite. Their zoo keepers love them, of course.

Heh. I guess that's why they call them "devils." I was impressed with how bad-tempered the one in the video was. The handler had chain mail shark gloves on his hands. I'd also heard that they were very smelly. I didn't know, though, that they were only found in Tasmania. I guess they're obnoxious enough that nobody would think of bringing one to Australia as a pet, with the possibility of it escaping. Now if people had only thought of that before they brought walking catfish, African Snails, pirhana, and other nasties to the U.S. ...
