Part 3/8:
At the heart of Tasmania's biodiversity lies the Tasmanian devil, a carnivorous marsupial known for its ferocity and unique screams that echo through the wilderness. Historically, these devils thrived across the continent, but their numbers have dwindled, largely restricted to Tasmania now. The survival of these creatures faces new threats in recent years, particularly due to a haunting disease known as Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD). Conservationists like Wade Anthony have emerged as champions for this icon of the wild, leading efforts to ensure that the devil doesn't follow the thylacine into extinction.
