I found one of these on the track at St Valentines Peak yesterday. One of the other walkers with me said that it was the intestines of a small animal left by a Devil. Apparently the Devils will not eat the intestines.

The contrary view about Devils:
"They are not fussy eaters, and will eat every part of the animal, bones, fur, intestines, the lot. Known to eat already dead animal carcasses, devils first rip out and eat the digestive system which is the softest part of the anatomy. They then often reside in the resulting cavity while they are eating."
