That's the badger!

So first of all, what is a Tasmanian devil?

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.

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...

Of course, they died along with the mother.

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

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

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.

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

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.

The Tasmanian devil got its name from the terrifying nocturnal scream that it makes.

Well the next breakthrough came from studying hundreds of Tasmanian devil cancers from all around Tasmania.
