Tasmanian devils are not found around all of Tasmania, but mostly in the bushland and coastal heath. Populations are smaller inland among the rugged mountains.

Do Tasmanian devils migerate?
Yes. This is the only remaining place where Tasmanian devils are found in their natural habitat. The Tasmanian Devil is native to Tasmania, the island state of Australia located off the southeast coast of the continent. It was once widespread on the Australian mainland, but the arrival of the Dingo and possibly climate change at the end of the last ice age, may have contributed to its extinction on the mainland. Its habitat in Tasmania is eucalypt forest, woodlands, heath and farmland.

Why do Tasmanian Devils have stripes?
They don't. Tasmanian devils used to be found throughout the Australian mainland, as well as Tasmania and even New Guinea. It is thought that the arrival of the Dingo and possibly climate change at the end of the last ice age, may have contributed to its extinction on the Australian mainland. However, they have continued to exist on the island of Tasmania because Tasmania has retained the cool temperate climate thought to once be in Australia and New Guinea, and the dingo has never made it to the island.

Like all wild animals, Tasmanian devils will have their playful moments.

They are only distantly related to the now extinct Tasmanian tigers, or Thylacines.
