The State badge has a red heraldic lion outlined in black inside a circle of silver (usually shown as white). The flag was adopted in 1876.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/tasmania-state-flag-150-x-90-cm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you would like to know where to Buy the Tasmania State Flag &#8211; 150 x 90 cm &#8211; Click Here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/tasmania-state-flag-heavy-duty-flag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you would like to know where to Buy the Tasmania State Flag &#8211; 180 x 90 cm &#8211; Click Here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/tasmania-bunting-string-flags-30-flags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you would like to know where to Buy the Tasmania State \u00a0String Bunting Flags &#8211; Click Here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/tasmania-state-table-flag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you would like to know where to Buy the Tasmania State Table Flag &#8211; Click Here<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/tasmania-state-flag-150-x-90-cm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27793 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmania-flag-post.jpg\" alt=\"Tasmania State Flag\" width=\"800\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmania-flag-post.jpg 800w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmania-flag-post-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmania-flag-post-768x336.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmania-flag-post-450x197.jpg 450w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmania-flag-post-555x243.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>FLORAL EMBLEM OF TASMANIA<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Tasmanian blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus), is Tasmania\u2019s floral emblem. It grows up to 56 m tall with silver-blue leaves and masses of round, creamy-white flowers.<\/p>\n<p>The Tasmanian coat of arms, which was granted by King George V in 1917, has the Latin motto Ubertas et fidelitas which means \u2018Fertility and faithfulness\u2019. The central shield is supported by two Tasmanian tigers (Thylacinus cynocephalus). The shield features a ram, a sheaf of wheat, apples and a branch of hops to represent the State\u2019s rural activities. The thunderbolt refers to Tasmania\u2019s hydro-electric development. The mining industry is shown by the pick and shovel held up by the red lion of Tasmania.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>UNOFFICIAL BIRD AND ANIMAL EMBLEM OF TASMANIA<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Tasmania does not have an official animal or bird emblem. The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), which is found only in Tasmania, is used unofficially as the animal emblem to promote Tasmania and its products. These fierce, flesh-eating marsupials are usually black in colour with irregular white markings. Females give birth to tiny young which they carry in a pouch. Tasmanian devils grow up to 1.2 metres long.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27794\" src=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmanian-devil-post.jpg\" alt=\"Tasmanian Devil \" width=\"800\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmanian-devil-post.jpg 800w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmanian-devil-post-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmanian-devil-post-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmanian-devil-post-450x203.jpg 450w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/tasmanian-devil-post-555x250.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>BIRD EMBLEM OF TASMANIA<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some Tasmanians are pushing to have the rare golden wattle bird (Anthochaera paradox) accepted as Tasmania\u2019s bird emblem.

They eat insects and nectar.
