Does 45000-50000 indicates that the Tasmanian devil is endangered?
According to data from December 2006, there are actually estimated to be only 20,000 - 50,000 mature Tasmanian Devils left. This is a low figure, particularly given that the Tasmanian Devil has been hit by a disease (Devil Facial Tumour Disease - DFTU) for which there is currently no cure. It is for this reason that the Tasmanian devil has only recently been placed on the endangered species list.
When were the Tasmanian Devils added to the endangered species list?
Tasmanian devils were officially added to the endangered species list in 2008.
When did the Tasmanian wolf become endangered?
It didn't. The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian wolf or Tasmanian tiger (and not to be confused with the Tasmanian devil), this marsupial has been deemed extinct since 1936. This occurred before protection measures were put in place, and before official conservation status levels were applied. It was never placed on the list of endangered species.
Where did the Tasmanian Devils live before they were classified endangered?
From the time of European settlement up to the present, Tasmanian devils have only ever been known on the island of Tasmania? this includes before they were placed on e endangered species list. Fossil evidence indicates that the Tasmanian devil once lived on the mainland as well. These mainland species were smaller than their Tasmanian counterparts.
Is the Tasmanian devil in the threatened species list?
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.
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 long has the Tasmanian devil been endangered?
From about 1996, the Tasmanian Devil has been threatened by a fatal form of cancer called "Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD)" which has killed large numbers of Tasmanian devils, resulting in an "Endangered" classification. It was officially added to the Endangered species list early in 2009.
Is the Tasmanian Devil related to the Tasmanian Tiger?
The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) was hunted almost to extinction due to its threat to livestock such as sheep and poultry. They were protected by law before it was too late in June 1941 from where their numbers recovered sufficiently for them to be classified as "secure". More recently, they are 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. As of May 2009, the Tasmanian Devil was upgraded to the "Endangered Species" list. Another 2000 Tasmanian devils are estimated to be the victims of cars each year. The Tasmanian devil, the largest living marsupial carnivore, earned its common name because of its blood-curdling nocturnal screams. They are not related to the Tasmanian Tiger.
