In theory. He's based on that "Taz" cartoon character. Nevermind the fact that Tassie devils are black, not brown. The bodyshape is wrong, the ears are those of a _bat_...
He does look essentially like a marsupual, but I think that's largely by fluke. He's really just based on that cartoon character.
Thing is, he doesn't really look much like any actual marsupial species - he sort of resembles the dunnarts, but even with a degree in biology, I can't say I'll recognise the look of a dunnart anywhere.
I'm holding out for a wallaby, kangaroo, koala or wombat... or even a thylacine!
Liftor's a fork lift? I never knew that. I always just figured he was the result of someone taking all the labels off the bottles in the medicine cabinet![]()
