Hi, close but no cigar!
The tassie devil is very much alive and well in the bush here in tassie-
they are the local "clean-up" squad for any dead or injured animals. They
are only about a foot to 18 inches long, but have a fearsome set of jaws,
fortunately they are scavengers not predators.  The extinct animal was the
thylacine or tasmanian tiger.

Cheers, Ken
