The survival of Tasmanian Devils is seriously threatened by Devil Facial Tumour Disease which develops rapidly and is fatal. Once the highly infectious cancerous tumours appear the Devils generally die within three to six months.
Another major threat to these beautiful marsupials is cars.
Thanks to breeder programs and sanctuaries there is hope we can prevent Tasmanian Devils from becoming extinct.
