Australian and New Zealand slang for the Tasmanian devil, the world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial, native to the island of Tasmania. 'Tassie' is the standard informal abbreviation for Tasmania in Australian English, so 'Tassie devil' is simply the affectionate shorthand version of 'Tasmanian devil.' The animal is widely recognized through the Looney Tunes cartoon character and has become an unofficial symbol of Tasmania, appearing on merchandise, tourism materials, and wildlife conservation campaigns.
