Tasmanian Devils Having a Devilish Time
If you have ever hear a recording of these creatures, you would have no trouble understanding how they got their name. It seems they are being threatened by a transmissible form of cancer that they pass around from thier habit of incessant fighting.
The idea of a contagious and transmissible cancer is a pretty wierd thing in itself - one can only hope that such a thing cannot be bio-weaponized!
