The correct name for a baby Tasmanian devil is "joey". Tasmanian devils are marsupials, and all marsupial young are called joeys.
The Tasmanian devil makes its home in dense undergrowth and bushland. It sometimes occupies abandoned wombat burrows or hollow logs.

Being a mammal, and a marsupial, a Tasmanian Devil has four feet.
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.
Being a mammal, the Tasmanian devil has a four-chambered heart.
The main danger to Tasmanian devil joeys comes from introduced foxes and domestic dogs. Birds of prey such as falcons and goshawks may also take young devils.
