The Tasmanian devil is in danger due to a deadly facial tumor disease that has severely impacted their population. The disease is transmitted through biting during fights over food or mates, leading to a decline in the species' numbers. Conservation efforts are being made to save these iconic creatures, including breeding programs and research into potential vaccines. Despite these efforts, the Tasmanian devil remains in a precarious situation as the disease continues to spread. Immediate action is needed to protect this unique species from extinction.
