SW What about a skunk?

We call him Skunk Man .

I almost stepped on a skunk last night.

They're hooked up with those skunks that came through Texas.

And ticks and poison ivy and snakes and skunks on his farm...

Moreover, different strains of cannabis pose more or less risk for psychosis. A comparison of the two most common types of cannabis in the United Kingdom, hash and sinsemilla ( skunk ), found that using skunk implied a significantly greater risk of psychosis, while hash did not.

That's the badger!

So first of all, what is a Tasmanian devil?

When the devil bites another devil, it actually physically implants living cancer cells into the next devil, so the tumor continues to grow.

In fact, in the area where she comes from, more than 90 percent of the Tasmanian devil population has already died of this disease.

But the Tasmanian devil population has been undergoing a really extremely fast decline.

My personal aim is to defeat the Tasmanian devil cancer.

So this Tasmanian devil cancer is perhaps the ultimate cancer.

Fortyfour lions, a zebra, two ostriches and, uh...

And I remember the horror of seeing this little female devil with this huge ulcerating, foul smelling tumor inside her mouth that had actually cracked off her entire lower jaw.

Of course, they died along with the mother.

And the answer came from studying the Tasmanian devil cancer's DNA.

It stinks.

'These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

'These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

And yet, she was feeding three little baby Tasmanian devils in her pouch.

Your smell makes me want to puke.

That means that all of these cancers actually are the same cancer that arose once from one individual devil, that have broken free of that first devil's body and spread through the entire Tasmanian devil population.

Have you decided to end it all? You idiot, you dummy, you moron!

Well the final piece of the puzzle came when we remember how devils behave when they meet each other in the wild.

When a skunk needs killing... it ain't enough just to say a skunk's a skunk.

And despite their ferocious appearance, Tasmanian devils are actually quite adorable little animals.

This disease appears first as tumors, usually on the face or inside the mouth of affected Tasmanian devils.

Let's prevent the Tasmanian devil from being the first animal to go extinct from cancer.

But that is where the Tasmanian devil cancer has acquired an absolutely amazing evolutionary adaptation.

And just as the Tasmanian devil cancer is contagious through the spread of living cancer cells, so is this dog cancer.

What is killing the Tasmanian devil? A virulent cancer is infecting them by the thousands and unlike most cancers, it's contagious. Researcher Elizabeth Murchison tells us how she's fighting to save the Taz, and what she's learning about all cancers from this unusual strain. Contains disturbing images of facial cancer.

Stinkeroo.

It stinks!

The Tasmanian devil is found only on the island of Tasmania, which is that small island just to the south of the mainland of Australia.

Will you leave me alone, you pest?
