Tasmanian Devil Facing Disease Crisis

HOBART, TAS - AUGUST 26: A warning sign is displayed on the gate of a quarantine facility for Tasmanian Devils on Maria Island August 26, 2005 near Hobart, 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 Ian Waldie/Getty Images)
