2-HeadedGiraffe: What? The Devil is Evolving!
This Discovery News article talks about the plight of the Tasmanian Devil. Apparently, they've started breeding at a younger age in response to high mortality rates due to the facial tumor disease which has been ravaging their population since the 90's. It's unclear whether it's a natural disease or accidentally caused by people (the latter seems likely, though, with how we've otherwise raped this planet).
Anyway, I just find this stuff fascinating, while at the same time, it's disturbing. Stupid humans.
Mood: This is upsetting
