Australia has many unique animals not found anywhere else in the world, Tasmania also has some animals that are exclusive to this state. The Tasmanian devil is probably the most well known, plus the extinct? or elusive Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) that still today gets reported as being sighted in the denser bush areas of the state. I hope you enjoy viewing some of our wildlife, more info can be found by clicking on some of the links near the images below.
