European settlers use to hunt the Tasmanian Devil because they thought they ate their farm animals. But the main reason why they are endangered is because they are suffering from a cancer called DEVIL FACIAL TUMOUR DISEASE.

How many Tasmanian devils are in zoos?
Tasmanian devils are only found in the wild in the Australian island state of Tasmania. They are no longer found on the mainland continent, except in captive breeding programmes.Numbers of the Tasmanian devil in the wild are dropping rapidly. According to Australia's Department of Primary Industries, data from December 2006 gives an estimate of the Tasmanian Devil's population at only 20,000 - 50,000 mature Tasmanian Devils. However, it is very hard to accurately determine numbers. Sightings have dropped by around 64%. The most recent estimate from June 2011 is that numbers across Tasmania are around 40,000, down from 100,000 prior to the outbreak of the devastating Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD). Some sources suggest the figure is as low as 17,000.There are three major problems the Tasmanian Devil faces:Devil Facial Tumour DiseaseRecent introduction of the red fox into TasmaniaRoadkill - which accounts for an estimated 2000 deaths of Tasmanian Devils every yearBecause of the impact of the DFTD, scientists have begun a captive breeding programme of Tasmanian devils. This involves taking healthy individuals from Tasmania and breeding them in special "wild" enclosures on the mainland. Figures for captive Tasmanian devils indicate that there are several hundred more Tasmanian devils in 18 zoos and sanctuaries across Australia. Captive breeding programmes in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales have seen considerable success. Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria, alone, has managed to maintain a Tasmanian devil population of around 120 over the past decade, meaning that new joeys are being successfully bred. The aim, ultimately, is to keep a steady population of some 500 Tasmanian devils in captive breeding, releasing healthy individuals into the wild.
What impact has land clearing and the introduction of Tasmanian devils predators have on its population?
The Tasmanian Devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial in Tasmania. Being at the top of the food chain, the Tasmanian devil has no native predators. The only predators that have been introduced are foxes (an unfortunate recent addition to Tasmania) and feral dogs, which may have a go at younger Devils, but are not considered a major threat to the adults.Man poses the biggest danger to the Tasmanian Devil, through habitat loss and clearing of forests, and through roadkill. Because man has cleared so much of the Tasmanian devil's native habitat, the devils are forced to come out more and they often feed on roadkill. This in turn threatens the Tasmanian devil as they are often hit by cars as they feed beside roads, and this had led to reduced numbers in their population.
Does a tornado have an impact on environment or humans?
A tornado has an impact on both the environment and humans. Though the impact on humans is more noticeable. Environmental impacts include the destruction of vegetation and animal habitats as well as the deaths of some animals. Similarly tornadoes can damage or destroy human property and kill or injure humans.
How many teeth does a Tasmanian devil have?
Tasmanian devils have 42 teeth. These teeth keep growing, and are not replaced during a Tasmanian devil's lifespan, so this marsupial has just one set of teeth through its lifetime. However, the teeth do wear down, and by about 5 years old, the degeneration of the teeth can impact upon the Tasmanian devil's ability to hunt and compete with others for food.
