Do Tasmanian Devils have facial tumours?
From about 1996, the Tasmanian Devil has been threatened by a fatal form of cancer called "Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD)" which has killed more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 45% of adults in medium to low density areas resulting in an "Endangered" classification. Since then, the Threatened Species Scientific Advisory Committee has recommended moving the Tasmanian Devil up the "Endangered Species" list. A number of groups have combined to fund, study, analyse and come up with a cure for DFTD.
How is DFTD affecting the Tasmanian devil population?
DFTD, or Devil Facial Tumour Disease, has infected approximately 60% of Tasmanian devils on the island of Tasmania, resulting in the Tasmanian Devil being classified as "endangered".

Yes. Foxes, which have only recently been introduced to Tasmania, do cause a problem as they will take the young Tasmanian devil joeys when they are left alone in the den. Man could be regarded as an invasive species, and he has certainly led to the endangerment of the Tasmanian devil.
