Can Tasmanian devils swim?
A. Tasmanian devils can swim very well. However, if they have young in the pouch they avoid swimming for more than very short distances. Tasmanian devils actually love water and will wade and splash about, even sitting or laying down in it to stay cool. They will often dabble in water with their front paws, somewhat in the manner of racoons. Tasmanian devils will sometimes store food in water.

Captive devils (and probably wild ones) will sometimes cache (store) food in water bowls.
