6 Reasons to Visit Tasmania, Australia

Yes, Tasmanian devils are real — but they look a lot different than their Looney Tunes counterpart (for starters, they’re black and white and about the same size as a French Bulldog). And while the devils themselves happen to be particularly elusive and hard to spot, there’s a good chance you’ll spy one of the many other exotic mammals that inhabit the island’s wilderness. Keep your eyes peeled for wombats, wallabies (pictured), echidnas, kangaroos, and koalas nestled among the scrub and in the trees.
