Though mainly known by their Latin name to Church officials, Sarcophilus Harrisili, Tasmanian Devils gained noteriety during "Taz's" (left) days with Looney Toons.Wikipedia tells us that the Tasmanian Devil "is characterised by its...offensive odor when stressed, extremely loud and disturbing screech, and viciousness when feeding..." For this reason, Tasmanian Devils were initally thought to be good mascots for some WYD pilgrims.
Though called "dEVILs", they are not in any way connected with their spiritual counterparts.
In addition, and most importantly, they are confined to the Island of Tasmania, and thus not a danger to pilgrims in Sydney!
