Extinction Sucks: Tasmanian Devils
The Tasmanian Devil was made famous by Warner Brothers as a crazed creature prone to bursts of anger. It’s a dreadful irony that the real Tasmanian Devil has become just that, driven insane by a horrific facial cancer that causes the animal to die of starvation. Scientists believe they will be extinct within 20 years. As one of Australia’s most iconic creatures, conservation team Aleisha Caruso and Ashleigh Young are determined not to let this happen. They hold a Handsome Devils fundraiser, and enlist five hunky guys to sell kisses and cakes at a nightclub, They raise enough to buy motion-activated camera traps to deliver to scientists battling to understand this unique disease, that many believe was triggered by a man-made insecticide used in the forests of Tasmania.
