Thermoregulation

[edit]

No convinced that the Tasmanian Devil is the only Dasyurus that can thermoregulate. Can someone site a study? Venajean (talk) 18:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am removing the divisive conlang translation of the name.

[edit]

The constructed language Palawa Kani (circa 1992) is a government project to divide "approved" from "non-approved" Tasmanian natives and its usage is considered highly offensive by non-pawala natives. Translations, if they are to be added, will use historically accurate language from the area please. A conlang is not acceptable. 124.169.150.3 (talk) 13:53, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AFL Team

[edit]

Someone should add something about it. 38.52.40.55 (talk) 15:13, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the source for your claim? Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is probably referring to the fact that the Australian Football League has just announced the creation of a new club in the league, the first from the state of Tasmania, to be known as the Tasmania Devils. Our IP editor is perhaps suggesting that this article contain a mention of this. I believe it would be appropriate to add something about this to the already extensive In popular culture sub-section.

Cross-species transmission of DFTD? Treatment?

[edit]

Greetings,

Has there been any known cases of cross-species transmission of the DFTD in animals that survive devil bites or even humans who have bitten handling the critters?

Also, the article mentions an immunotherapy treatment begun in 2017 - injecting those poor Tasmanian devils with live cancer cells to stimulate an immune response. Did it work in a large scale? Are other treatments being tried?

From the infobox:

Distribution of the Tasmanian devil on Tasmania in grey

All I can see on the picture is a lot of black and some blueish lines. Is the black supposed to be very very dark grey? --91.5.107.77 (talk) 11:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
