The Tasmanian Devil is a marsupial from the Dasyuridae family. Its species is Sarcophilus harrisii.
According to data from December 2006, there are actually estimated to be only 20,000 - 50,000 mature Tasmanian Devils left. This is a low figure, particularly given that the Tasmanian Devil has been hit by a disease (Devil Facial Tumour Disease - DFTU) for which there is currently no cure. It is for this reason that the Tasmanian devil has only recently been placed on the endangered species list.
There are no current figures for Tasmanian devil numbers. The most recent figures are from 2009, the year that the Tasmanian devil was listed as an "endangered" species. Figures from late 2009 indicate that, in recent decades, the Tasmanian Devil's population has dropped by 70% to an estimated 45,000 - 50,000 Tasmanian Devils in the wild.
Tasmanian devils were officially added to the endangered species list in 2008.
