Tasmanian Devil
Have you heard about the Tasmanian devil? If you want to look out and feed the Tasmanian devil face to face, you absolutely have a chance to do it in Tasmania! The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae, now found in the wild only in Tasmania! The size of Tasmania devil is like a small dog and the fur is almost black with white marks on its rump and chest (you can look it at Gallery). When this cute animal snarls at us, you realize why it is called the Tasmanian ‘devil’. In addition to this, now the Tasmanian devil is on the endangered species list. There are many conservation projects occurring in the state to protect the Tasmanian devil (donations, volunteering etc).

Wombat
The wombat is the largest burrowing mammal in Australia and the most common species of wombat are found in Tasmania and in some parts of New South Wales. Hairy-nosed wombats are rarer and found only in the more arid regions of Australia. Wombats usually forage for food at either dawn or dusk, avoiding activity during the hotter parts of the day, when they often bask in the sun at their burrow entrance.
