Tasmanian Devil Facing Disease Crisis

HOBART, TAS - OCTOBER 10: A Tasmanian Devil is studied by Billie Lazenby of the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment after being captured in the wild to check for signs of the Devil Facial Tumor Disease October 10, 2005 near Fentonbury, Australia. The Devil, a native marsupial unique to Tasmania, is under threat from Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD) which is decimating numbers throughout Tasmania. Several devils are being monitored under quarantine situations on the mainland, while another group have been moved to Maria Island, to form an "insurance population" should the disease spread. The Devils have just been listed as a "vulnerable" species due to the disease. (Photo by Adam Pretty/Getty Images)
