Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) - Tasmania

The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is a nocturnal, carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae. The devil can only be found in the wild in the Australian island state of Tasmania. Devils are becoming increasingly uncommon and difficult to find, due to the spread of a cancer-like virus named Devil Tumour Disease. The disease, which is spread via contact with other devils, causes large growths to develop around the facial area. The cancerous growths eventually lead to the devil's death
