Gila Monster vs Tasmanian Devil

Fun Fact: Unlike most other marsupials, Tasmanian Devil's young ones, also known as "joeys," climb into their mother's pouch facing backwards - probably because it's more secure that way.

Fun Fact: When a Tasmanian Devil feels threatened, it emits a pungent smell similar to that of a skunk, making its attackers think twice before messing with this little devil!
