These [tasmanian devils] are the ugliest, nastiest animals around. Well, around Austrailia. There was one in captivity here in the US and he's died. Via Fark comes this story from ABC 13 TV in Ohio:
The last of the Tasmanian devils known to be living outside their native Australia died Tuesday at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, zoo officials said.Zookeepers learned last month that the 7½-year-old marsupial named Coolah had inoperable cancer.
Coolah was born in January 1997 at the Cincinnati Zoo and came to Fort Wayne through a loan agreement with the Toronto Zoo.
The Fort Wayne zoo, citing records maintained by the International Species Inventory System, said that Coolah was the last of the animals outside Australia since the death last August of a female Tasmanian devil at the San Diego Zoo.
