Save Endangered Tasmanian Devil Black Silhouette T-Shirt

A bold black silhouette design of the iconic Australian marsupial, the Tasmanian Devil. The words, Save Our Endangered" are printed above the image, and "Tasmanian Devils" are printed below, all in simple black text. Tasmanian Devils are remarkably ferocious little creatures, with the most powerful bite, relative to size, of all mammals. The Tasmanian Devil got its name from early European settlers, who on hearing its spine-chilling screams, and witnessing its appearance, likened it to the "Devil". Once inhabiting mainland Australia, this small but mighty carnivore is now confined to the island state of Tasmania. The main threat to its survival is Devil Facial Tumour Disease, which is highly infectious, develops quickly and is fatal. The other main threat is collisions with motor vehicles, mainly at night, as Tasmanian Devils are nocturnal, and therefore most active in the dark. Breeding programs are in place to revive the population, and release healthy Tasmanian Devils into non-infectious areas of the wild. Donations to these programs and greater care taken from drivers will contribute to the recovery of these precious mammals. An ideal gift for anyone who loves Tasmanian Devils, Australian wildlife, or is passionate about saving threatened species.
