Tasmanian "Devil."

Sarcophilus.

This section contains but one example, the Sarcophilus ursinus, a very ferocious but small animal, the habitat of which is restricted to Tasmania. This species should be classed with the Dasyures proper, on account of its dentition, which is the same as in the next group; premolars, 2-2/2-2; the Thylacine having 3-3/3-3 of these teeth.
