Yeah they've been on the brink for quite some time now. I believe it is due to a cancerous bacteria that has spread through their population like crazy.
But we're doing everything we can to save them!

I love tazmanian devils, one of my favorite animals. My flag football coaches used to call me taz because of how I played... Not really relavant to the thread, but w/e. It's a shame, I hope that they can beat that bacteria.

I hate seeing any species on the brink of extinction. I hope those little devils can pull through.

they raised the protection level... that seems kinda pointless if they're dying because of cancer in the face.
Unless they got themselves some really creative poachers.

They have the most evil growls. Scary little things but, it does suck that they're dying out.
They can be freaking vicious.

You see Taz as a kid and they grow on you....
They're not my favorite favorite though. I'm a bigger fan of Dogs and Wolves and things like that. But Devils are up there.

I'd like to see you try and pet a Wolf as you would a Dog.

I was just pointing out how you like Dogs and Wolves in a different manner. Dogs are friends, Wolves and Velociraptors just look cool.

When people say it is a shame that an animal like the Tasmanian devil is on the way to extinction, I wonder what is so great about the animal being in existence.
