Tasmanian Devils

Yesterday we did a quiz on current events and today we had to choose one of the questions to do research on. I chose to do mine on the Tasmanian Devil. 

The thing I enjoyed the most would have been finding out all of the different things about Tasmanian Devils. The most surprising thing I learnt is that it is common for them to have a certain type of cancer called DTFD.
