Seems like Tazmenian Devil did not come from Tazmenia, maybe from Turkmenistan where the alleged and so called "Door to Hell" opened.
Weird and creepy as it may sound, the Door to Hell does not really refer to a literal door which will bring you to hell. The Door to Hell is actually a natural gas field in Derweze, which means "gate", at Ahal Province, Turkmenistan. It was named The Door to Hell because of natural gas fires which countinously burn since it was lit by Soviet Petrochemical Engineers in 1971. The fire is continously burning because of the rich natural gas deposits within the area.

The area was discovered by Soviet engineers in 1971 and thought that it was an oil field. Then they started drilling and camped nearby. Soviet engineers were happy to find out that they have identified a rich gas reserve. Unfortunately, the drilling rig and their camp collapsed into a very wide and deep crater. Good thing, no lives were lost but a very large quantity of methane gas were released. To avoid potential danger and damage to nearby villages, the Soviet engineers decided to just burn the gas thinking that it would last only for about a week. Surprisingly, their anticipation was incorrect. The methane gas continously burn up until this day.
