Tasmania is a natural haven for Australian wildlife. Bennetts wallabies, seals, penguins and wedge-tailed eagles can be found without venturing too far from the state's capital, Hobart, and encounters with friendly wildlife are an almost inevitable feature of travels around the state.About the size of a small dog, the Tasmanian devil is the world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial and is found only in Tasmania. The discordant snarls, screeches and growls they make are believed to have contributed to the naming of the devil and they are often heard fighting over food and during mating.
