    The tasmanian devil’s are predisposed to an aggressive cancer. The tumours grow around their necks and eventually the animal suffers from malnutrition then eventually death by suffocation if the malnutrition doesn’t kill them first. Some of the pictures of are truly horrific. I wonder what side effects will come from these new antibiotics that will ‘save’ the lives of millions.
