Best Answer

Tasmanian devils are found only in the wild in Tasmania, Australia's southern island state, but they are listed as endangered both domestically and internationally.

In Tasmania, they are "endangered" under the Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.

Internationally, they are listed as "endangered" on the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
