Toxic flame retardant found in tasmanian devils. Is this the cause of the lethal facial tumour disease?

And in other, unpublicized news, Western Plains Zoo (now renamed Taronga Western Plains) has a colony of 12 devils that are not on display. They are trying to get them to breed as part of the species rescue programme.

It was such a good one, too. If you can ignore the screaming.

Maybe you could use them as alternate noise generators in the Britten-Norman Islander BN-2. Many years ago, Britten Norman perfected the fine art of producing lift as a secondary effect of noise, with the engines and propellers tuned to generate sufficient noise to achieve flight. Running them on Tasmanian Devils should increase efficiency.
