Tasmanian Devil

The Tasmanian Devil, often referred to as Taz, is an animated cartoon character featured in the Warner Bros."Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" series of cartoons. Though the character appeared in only five shorts before Warner Bros. Cartoons closed down in 1964, marketing and television appearances later propelled the character to new popularity in the 1990s. Taz is generally portrayed as a ferocious albeit dim-witted omnivore short temper and little patience. He will eat anything and everything, with an appetite that seems to know no bounds. He is best known for his speech consisting mostly of grunts, growls and rasps, and his ability to spin like a vortex and bite through just about anything.

Taz was provided Mel Blanc who did Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales, Sylvester, Tweety Bird, Foghorn Leghorn, Sam Sheepdog, Barnyard Dawg, Beaky Buzzard, and Yosemite Sam.
