I remember being disappointed that they didn't really look like this:

They seemed so much nicer on Saturday mornings when I was growing up.

Look like a cross between a bear and an opossum.

Cute! The sad fact is the TD population is threatened by a facial tumor disease that prohibit their ability to eat and they end up starving - in some places as many as 90% of the critters have it.

They look more like representatives of the Democratic [sic] party to my eye, though I've to admit my sight isn't all it was in my youth.

We could use more folks like this in Congress. Looking like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Louie Gohmert.

I think I’d want to stay on the other side of the wire fence, thankyouverymuch. That’s a mouth full of nasty teeth.

They're not really sure. It is a transmittable cancer of the peripheral nerves. When the animals are infected it alters their DNA. It is apparently 100% fatal, and it is suspected that the cancer genome is mutating so that it may infect other species - it's pretty horrible. The truly sad part is that TDs were almost wiped out by farmers, and only fairly recently had populations begun to rebound - but now, it's pretty grim.
