Thermoregulation
No convinced that the Tasmanian Devil is the only Dasyurus that can thermoregulate. Can someone site a study? Venajean (talk) 18:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
I am removing the divisive conlang translation of the name.
The constructed language Palawa Kani (circa 1992) is a government project to divide "approved" from "non-approved" Tasmanian natives and its usage is considered highly offensive by non-pawala natives. Translations, if they are to be added, will use historically accurate language from the area please. A conlang is not acceptable. 124.169.150.3 (talk) 13:53, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

- This is probably referring to the fact that the Tasmania Devils. Our IP editor is perhaps suggesting that this article contain a mention of this. I believe it would be appropriate to add something about this to the already extensive In popular culture sub-section. HiLo48 (talk) 23:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC)]
Cross-species transmission of DFTD? Treatment?
Greetings,
Has there been any known cases of cross-species transmission of the DFTD in animals that survive devil bites or even humans who have bitten handling the critters?
Also, the article mentions an immunotherapy treatment begun in 2017 - injecting those poor Tasmanian devils with live cancer cells to stimulate an immune response. Did it work in a large scale? Are other treatments being tried?
