You don't want to be the first person mauled sufficiently hard enough to catch Tasmanian Devil Face Cancer?

Think of the papers you'll be cited in!

Went to one of the sanctuaries around Hobart, their odor is pretty rough. I saw it described as smelling like a smelly wet dog, and it's definitely like that, but combined with like a "skunk, but one that evolved on the other side of the planet" smell.

So is wet dog smell evolutionary or do all dog-shapes just smell similar when wet?
