April 13, 1957 –

The Merrie Melodies short Bedevilled Rabbit, directed by Robert McKimson, starring Bugs Bunny and Tasmanian Devil, debuted on this date.
Tasmanian Devils are carnivorous marsupials that once were found all over Australia but now live on the island of Tasmania. They have a strong bite and a fierce sounding howl and, like Taz, often sport a white underbelly. But unlike Taz, they are largely nocturnal creatures.
