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.
