The Tasmanian Devil takes its name from Tasmania, the Australian island state where it lives in the wild.

The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the thylacine! also takes its name from Tasmania, the only state where it has ever been seen since Europeans arrived.

Quokkas are most common on Rottnest Island, off the southwest Western Australian coast, near Fremantle. They are also found on Bald Island. However, there are several colonies living in protected areas in the southwest mainland. Rottnest Island is so named for the quokkas, which the early Dutch explorers mistook for giant rats. They named the island "Rat's nest", or "Rottnest".
