You have managed to get Tasmanian tigers and Tasmanian devils confused. Tasmanian devils are very much not extinct.
The Dingo was a rather late arrival in Australia - around 4000 years ago [1]. This was after Tasmania was separated from the mainland by rising sea water after the end of the last ice age which is why they never reached Tasmania.
It is not my claim that Dingos were responsible for the extinction of the Thylacines on the mainland [2] - I just happen to be far more informed about this topic than some posting here.
