Devil Facial Tumor Dieases

Victims of cars
Tasmanian Devils are hard to see on the road because of their coat, which is black with white. They are sometimes run-over unintentionally. (L,S)(N,G)
Harm to live stock
In the 1800s, Tasmanian Devils was almost driven to extinction due to the over killing by farmers, whom consider them as a threat to their life stock. However in 1941, the government passed a law that protected the Devils and prevented their obsolescence.(L,S)(N,G)
