Tasmanian devils are quickly being overcome by a facial tumor disease that researchers say threatens the entire population on the small island of Tasmania just south of the Australian mainland. Now, thanks to an arrangement made last June with Warner Brothers, home to the famous Tasmanian Devil Loony Toons cartoon character, up to $200,000 is set to be raised through the sale of stuffed animal versions of the cartoon character. The Scientist magazine reports on the background of the arrangement in its latest issue, complete with a picture of a sad looking Tas devil that has been afflicted with the facial tumor disease. We opted to go with a cute baby picture of a Tas here.
