Yes. Tasmanian devils are native to Tasmania, the island state of Australia located off the southeast coast of the continent.

Tasmanian devils were once prevalent on the Australian mainland, but it is thought that either climate change or the introduction of the Dingo by the Australian Aborigines caused its extinction on the mainland because of the increased competition for food.

Currently, the only Tasmanian devils on the mainland are held in special reserves, or in captive breeding programmes.
