That's the badger!

So first of all, what is a Tasmanian devil?

When the devil bites another devil, it actually physically implants living cancer cells into the next devil, so the tumor continues to grow.

In fact, in the area where she comes from, more than 90 percent of the Tasmanian devil population has already died of this disease.

But the Tasmanian devil population has been undergoing a really extremely fast decline.

My personal aim is to defeat the Tasmanian devil cancer.

So this Tasmanian devil cancer is perhaps the ultimate cancer.

Of course, they died along with the mother.

And the answer came from studying the Tasmanian devil cancer's DNA.

And yet, she was feeding three little baby Tasmanian devils in her pouch.

That means that all of these cancers actually are the same cancer that arose once from one individual devil, that have broken free of that first devil's body and spread through the entire Tasmanian devil population.

Of course, the real importance for bees is not the honey.

Well the final piece of the puzzle came when we remember how devils behave when they meet each other in the wild.

What is killing the Tasmanian devil? A virulent cancer is infecting them by the thousands and unlike most cancers, it's contagious. Researcher Elizabeth Murchison tells us how she's fighting to save the Taz, and what she's learning about all cancers from this unusual strain. Contains disturbing images of facial cancer.

And despite their ferocious appearance, Tasmanian devils are actually quite adorable little animals.

This disease appears first as tumors, usually on the face or inside the mouth of affected Tasmanian devils.

Let's prevent the Tasmanian devil from being the first animal to go extinct from cancer.

In fact, they invite the honey bees through their colors, and the bees don't keep all the honey for themselves.

But that is where the Tasmanian devil cancer has acquired an absolutely amazing evolutionary adaptation.

And just as the Tasmanian devil cancer is contagious through the spread of living cancer cells, so is this dog cancer.

Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb honey and milk are under thy tongue and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb honey and milk are under thy tongue and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

The Tasmanian devil is found only on the island of Tasmania, which is that small island just to the south of the mainland of Australia.

The Sugar Season

It's said that for bees, the flower is the fountain of life, and for flowers bees are the messengers of love.

And she'll come into the hive, find an empty honey pot and throw up, and that's honey.

My son, eat honey, for it is good the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste

My son, eat honey, for it is good the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste

I have honey thighs.

The Tasmanian devil got its name from the terrifying nocturnal scream that it makes.

Well the next breakthrough came from studying hundreds of Tasmanian devil cancers from all around Tasmania.

This is Sanghamitra.

We know that what's going on between the bee and that flower is that bee has been cleverly manipulated by that flower.

Honey is sweet because we like it, not we like it because honey is sweet.

The Territory also exports honey, which has been found by the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to be an exceptionally pure product.

The bee is not calling the shots.

And bees are very faithful.

In fact, growing up in Tasmania, it always was incredibly exciting when we got a chance to see a Tasmanian devil in the wild.

But if this can happen in Tasmanian devils, why hasn't it happened in other animals or even humans?

Bees are flying among the flowers.

Honey in the mouth and poison in the heart.
