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.
