ch of eggs is dropped into the uterus. They are born in just 21 days and in huge numbers - from 20 to 50 children per season, who do not necessarily have the same father. Babies grow quickly and reach sexual maturity at the age of two. But only half of them will live to see their fifth birthday - the average individual encounters too many dangers in life. However, due to their high reproduction rate, Tasmanian devils successfully resisted human intervention until the 1980s. And they did not become extinct, unlike the legendary Tasmanian wolves, which were completely destroyed by humans in the 30s of the last century. But now devils are on the verge of extinction for perhaps the most terrible reason in the history of the Earth. At the end of the last century, the species was struck by an epidemic of viruses that provoked the growth of cancerous tumors and quickly brought the devils to the grave. In just 40 years, their numbers have decreased by 80%. And even the living devils suffer greatly and look so creepy that we do not dare show them to you. But people don't leave the devil's babies to their fate; we are trying to figure out how to save the babies from the disease and stop their extinction.
