The ABC reports [abc.net.au] that University of Tasmania researchers have identified four Tasmanian devils [wikipedia.org] which recovered, in the wild, from devil facial tumour disease [wikipedia.org], the transmissible facial cancers that are prevalent in the species. Another two recovered, but were afflicted again later.
