Tasmanian Devil

Final Assignment Part 2 by Brandy Mearnic Vampire Bat The vampire bat also comes from a Subfamily called desmodontinae. There are three different types of bat species: The common vampire bat, hairy legged vampire bat and white winged vampire bat. These three different species are mostly native to the New World, but can be found in parts of Mexico and Brazil, Chile and Argentina. Their main source of food is blood. Instead of sucking the blood to feed on they make a small cut with their teeth

The problem is that the many animals are decreasing due to humans destructing their habit. For example, Tasmanian devils are endangered is because they are getting tumors that are called devil facial tumor disease. This is causing their population to decrease as there isn’t much they can do when they have a tumor. Tasmanian Devils are also losing their habitat because the farmers need more land to grow crops and they live there it’s not ideal as then they starve and can’t get what they need to live

Introduction: What is Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease?  Identified in 1996 the Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) is the growth of fatal tumours on the faces of Tasmanian Devils (Sarcophilus harrisii), specifically the mouth and teeth. (Hamede RK, McCallum H & Jones M, 2013)  Affecting the largest carnivorous marsupial alive (Beeton N & McCallum H, 2011) the tumour cells are transmitted through the biting of one Devil to another either in attack to access food first, or predominantly

Devil facial tumour disease, also known as DFTD, is a clonally transmissible cancer exclusively found in the Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii)(C.E Hawkins et al., 2006). It is transmitted as an allograft (Pearse & Swift, 2006), making it an extremely abnormal disease, as it is one of very few known transmissible cancers. The other known transmissible cancers are Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor (CTVT) in Dogs (Murgia et al., 2006), Contagious Reticulum Cell Sarcoma in Syrian Hamsters (Cooper

ast week, my group and I were given various pieces of information about the Tasmanian Devil. We had the task of finding out exactly what had caused the scarring and marks on their faces; and could only use the information that was provided to us in folders. After several days of making many new discoveries about the devils, my group and I concluded that the markings on the devil’s faces were mainly due to the Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD). As an oncologist, I was quite aware that tumors and cancer

The program will relocate Devils from Maria island to Wukalina to reinforce the population there. The most recent project is taking place in may 2017, and is to release the Devil into the wild and to study how the vaccination affects their immunity to DFTD, the vaccinated devils will come from the Maria island Devils. The program will also investigate the benefits of a soft release program and a hard release program and

Tasmanian Devil facial cancer disease (DFCD) is a unique contagious cancer, which is transmitted among Devil populations by biting, causing the cancer to present itself in tumours around the oral cavity. The cancer cells have previously been found to be a rogue clonal cell line from a single Devil. Aims The aim of the two research papers was to investigate telomere length in Tasmanian Devils, the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), and in closely related marsupials. One of the articles focused

The Tasmanian Devil is a vicious creature. The Tasmanian Devil and the Visigoths are similar in personality and actions, desperate to reach their desires, and they both lack subtlety and depth in their language. Tasmanian Devil represents the personality and actions of a Visigoths. Visigoths are “marauders- ruthless and brutal.” If something did not work out they will do anything wicked for their own advantage. The Tasmanian Devil also resembles that through his actions. He is ferocious, short tempered

Land (VDL). From 1853, with the cessation of convict transportation from the British Empire, it became known as Tasmania. At the 1996 Census, 13,873 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people registered as living in Tasmania (ABS 1301.6 – Tasmanian Year Book, 2000), and in 2010 just over 500,000 people were living in Tasmania with, according to Alexander (2010), more than 70% having [some] convict ancestry. This is not surprising, considering that more than 72,000 convicts were transported

Q.1. Discuss Dr Faustus as a tragedy. Tragedy – Definition Aristotle defines a tragedy as a ‘representation of an action which is important, complete and limited in length. It is enacted not recited and by arousing pity and fear, it gives an outlet to emotions of this type.’ However, for the Elizabethans, more specifically for Marlowe and Shakespeare, tragedy is not a restrictive view of human excellence or weakness as the Greeks are often inclined to present but an affirmative view of human
