THE MOSTLY MISUNDERSTOOD TASMANIAN DEVIL

Most of us have formed our options of Tasmanian devils based on the Looney Tunes cartoon from the 1950's. We think of the Tasmanian devil as a fierce, seething, snarling, insatiable lunatic, a notoriously cantankerous disposition and the tendency to fly into a maniacal rage when threatened by a predator, fighting for a mate, or defending a meal. Early cartoonists dubbed it a "devil" after witnessing such displays, which include teeth-baring, lunging, and an array of spine-chilling guttural growls.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Recent research and extensive studies have found Tasmanian Devils to be docile, gentle, and fun loving. One can not go wrong by sharing one's home with one of these remarkable creatures. It is tragic that they were mislabeled 'Devil', as you can see from the pictures below, Angel would have been more appropriate. Close you eyes and imagine, sitting in your most comfortable chair, with one of these warm furry creatures nestled in you lap, emitting soothing cooing sounds. We have observed more aggressive behavior, when their food supply is threatened they may whine or even squeak.

Sicentists at the University of Sydney have discovered that he milk of the Tasmanian Devil has the power to kill the drug resistant super bugs that are plaguing our hospitals. Apparently their milk produces a natural antibiotic As a result the Tasmanian Devil is becoming in greater demand in medical research and in the production of pharmaceuticals.

MorriCat Pharmaceuticals, in partnership with the NSA has developed a dairy farm in the town of Leggo, Mississippi. (Yalobusha county). Our heard consists of 12,000 lactating females, hat we milk every 4 hours. We pride ourselves in the humane treatment of our stock. There is no more than 4 to a cage and each is allotted 1 hour every week in natural light. There wa some controversial when the NSA suggested disposing of the excess cubs by burying them in the local landfill. This was soundly rejected in favor of our current program to sell them for $1.02 each (plus shipping and handling). Each cub is flash frozen and shrink wrapped, before being mailed o the customer. Upon arrival they can be defrosted in your microwave oven afterwards they usually recover with a little CPR (if not simply return for a full refund).

Just visualize, your home complete with this small lovable furry creature. Scurrying back and forth through your rooms. Nestled on you lap in front of the fire. They are easy to care for, only desiring a handful of nuts, berries and chocolate for substance a nod of approval and a few tummy rubs. We find at the dairy farm that by supplementing their diet with black-eyed peas and 'chittlins', they are more content.

For those who are concerned about the prevalence of the new Superbugs, I suggest ordering a breeding pair, you can then have a handy permanent supply of antibiotics.
