It's not a mouse, it's a Tasmanian Devil which isn't a rodent but the worlds |
| 8 |
only surviving predatory marsupial. The animal population is under threat from |
| 9 |
the only cancer known to science to be transmitted via biting. It affects the |
| 10 |
devils around the mouth and jaw (where they routinely bite each other) and is |
| 11 |
fatal in every known case within 3 to 9 months. |

The most recent Linux Dev Conference was in Australia and included a drive to |
| 14 |
raise awareness and funds to help protect this endangered animal. |
