#8 Seven Baby Tasmanian Devils Were Just Born In The Wild On Mainland Australia For The First Time In 3,000 Years
At the time, they were hunted to extinction by dingoes. But today, they are still at risk. Tasmanian devils are endangered on the island of Tasmania, having lost 90 percent of their population since 1996 due to a contagious form of cancer. Only about 25,000 remain. Their reintroduction to the Australian mainland hopes to counteract the drastic population decline of the past 25 years

#9 A Now-Infamous Photo From 1948 Shows A Chicago Mother Hiding Her Face In Shame As Her Young Children Huddle Near Her
At the forefront of the picture, in large, bold letters, a sign reads: “4 Children For Sale: Inquire Within.” When this image was first published in the Vidette-Messenger, a newspaper based in Valparaiso, Indiana, it sparked shock, outrage, and even skepticism, with some wondering if the photo had been staged. But unfortunately, the snapshot depicted a very real situation. The children were actually sold off by their parents, and some of them ended up in even worse homes than the house that they once shared with their biological family.
For instance, young RaeAnn and Milton were both sold off to an abusive couple, John and Ruth Zoeteman, in 1950. RaeAnn and Milton later said that their adoptive parents chained them up, beat them, and treated them like slaves. In fact, Milton claimed that John told him that he was expected to work as a slave on the family’s farm on his first day in the home. “I said I’d go along with that,” Milton remembered. “I didn’t know what a slave was. I was only a kid.” The abuse Milton suffered eventually led to violent bouts of rage in his teenage years. And at one point, he was brought before a judge, deemed a menace to society, and sent to a mental hospital.
