Robert Paddle (2000, p. 4), in his book: The Last Tasmanian Tiger, quotes an average direct length for an adult male thylacine as 1.63m, and an adult female as 1.54m. The average male body length measurement as cited by Paddle is consistent with the sample group.
The date that the Tasmanian devil became locally extinct from the Australian mainland is unclear; most evidence suggests they had contracted to three relict populations around 3000 years ago.he Tasmanian devil has an exceptionally strong bite for its size, generating a force of over 553 N (124 lbf). The jaw can open to 75â80 degrees, allowing the devil to generate the large amount of power to tear meat and crush bones âsufficient force to allow it to bite through thick metal wire.
