Please remove
when they have slipped in wooden shearing sheds
and add
when they have slipped into wooden shearing sheds
Otherwise it sounds like "they" are sheep that happened to lose their footing. 64.203.186.75 (talk) 13:54, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Not done: That is what is being said. The sheep slip, their legs hang below, the Tasmanian devil eats the legs. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:59, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- In that case, please remove
eat the legs of otherwise robust sheep when they have slipped in wooden shearing sheds

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)
AFL Team
Someone should add something about it. 38.52.40.55 (talk) 15:13, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Where's the source for your claim? Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- This is probably referring to the fact that the Australian Football League has just announced the creation of a new club in the league, the first from the state of Tasmania, to be known as 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.

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?
