Best Answer

Tasmanian Devils originated on the continent of Australia.

They are no longer found on the mainland, though fossil evidence indicates that they did live on the main continent prior to the introduction of the dingo. Tasmanian devils are now found only on Australia's island state of Tasmania, which lies to the south of the mainland
