A Wild, Tasmanian Devil Bares Its Teeth (IMAGE)
Caption
Morris Animal Foundation-funded researchers at the University of Sydney discovered that Tasmanian devil females can be polyandrous and their male partners can be younger than once thought. This could mean the devils are adapting to life with Devil facial tumor diseases in their midst, but it could also pose a challenge for conservationists trying to maintain genetic diversity in species recovery programs.
