Racing to save the Tasmanian devil

DEC 17, 20158 MIN

Description

The Tasmanian devil is a tough creature with a fearsome reputation. In its natural habitat it has no predators, yet devil numbers are plummeting. Cancerous facial tumours caused by devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) are decimating wild populations of these carnivorous marsupials. But there is hope! In this Earth Touch Insider, we discover how the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program and partner organisations like Toledo Zoo are fighting to save this iconic predator from extinction.
