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.
