Tasmania does not have an official animal emblem but unofficially the Tasmanian Devil is commonly accepted as the emblem of this state. An alternative unofficial emblem is the Thylacine, commonly known as the Tasmanian Tiger, which is now extinct. The Thylacine was not a tiger but a carnivorous creature hunted to extinction by early European settlers.
