Tasmanian devils born on the Australian mainland for the first time in 3,000 years

There is a wave of joy among Australian biologists. Actually, Tasmanian devil species have been born in the forests of New South Wales after many years. This species, placed in the extinct category in 1990, is being seen as a big success in the direction of giving life again.

This species is known for its dangerous teeth, claws and bite ability. Cartoons inspired by this animal can also be seen in Warner Bros. animation series.

According to a CNN report, the Tasmanian Devil species is getting success again. Australian NGO Ossie Ork, who works for animal protection, has been trying to save this species for many years.

The Ossie Arc reported that a Tasmanian Devil female gave birth to a child on 24 May at the Barrington Wildlife Century in New South Wales, Australia. It is believed that this is the first time in 3000 years that this species has been born in the mainland forest of Australia.

Ossie Ork released 26 Tasmanian Devil couples for breeding and wandering in the open forest last year. So that their species can get life again. Now after the birth of children, the possibility of increasing the number of Tasmanian devils has increased.

According to the report, the Tasmanian Devil is an animal of the dog species that is very similar to a rat when viewed from the face, but its body size is as small as a dog. The Tasmanian Devil is believed to have been given this name because of its ferocious jaws, large clawed nails, dangerous ability to attack and bite.

Life scientists began investigations in the 1990s on the rapid death of Tasmanian devils living in the wild. By the time it was discovered in 1996 that the species was dying of facial tumors and cancer, there were few left in the Australian forests.

Those who survived were preserved in zoo and veterinary hospitals. The species was listed as extinct in the UN Red List in 2008.

What HBO said

“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.

It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”

A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”

About Harry Potter series

Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.

The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.

Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
