Sadly,Tasmanian Devils have a contagious diease(humans can also get) called Facial Tumor Disorder(type of cancer),which is caused by parasitic activity. This is the main reason for causing the Tasmanian Devil's extinction.The disorder/diease makes it so the Tasmanian Devil has multiple rashes/blisters on it's face.And if the rashes/blisters are dealt with in an aggressive manner they can spread to their body and cause organ failure or even worse,death.The Tasmanian Devil can also get secondary infection or metabolic starvation because the Facial Tumor Disorder disturbs the feeding process for the Tasmanaian Devil.
