Tasmania has been home to two notable creatures; the Tasmanian Devil and the Tasmanian Tiger.
Tasmania has been home to two notable animals; the Tasmanian Devil and the Tasmanian Tiger.
The '''Tasmanian Tiger''' or '''thylacine''' was a large dog-like marsupial with stripes on its back which led to the ''tiger'' appellation. It is believed to have survived on the island owing to the lack of competition from dingos. The last known surviving specimen died in captivity in 1936. Although believed to be extinct there are occasional unconfirmed reports of further sightings.
