Best Answer

There is no species called a Tasmanian dog. There is the Tasmanian devil, which is a marsupial about the size of a dog, with very strong jaws. There is also the Thylacine, another carnivorous marsupial which is variously known as the Tasmanian tiger or the Tasmanian wolf, although it is neither tiger nor wolf, and not related to either.

What is the name for a Tasmanian dog?

There is no dog which is native to Tasmania. The question may arise from confusion over the Thylacine, commonly referred to also as either the Tasmanian tiger or even the Tasmanian wolf.

The only dogs in Tasmania are domesticated dogs, or wild dogs (including foxes) resulting from the introduction of dogs to the island. Not even the dingo can be found in Tasmania.
