The number of babies a female Tasmanian devil carries in her uterus is different from the number of joeys she carries in her pouch.
A female Tasmanian devil actually may have several dozen tiny embryos in one birth - anywhere between 20 and 40 - but only four at most can latch onto a teat in the mother's pouch. The rest die. The breeding season is March to April, so Tasmanian devils breed just once a year.
The average number of Tasmanian Devil joeys that a mother may be rearing in any given breeding season is 2-3.
