The average number of Tasmanian Devil joeys that a mother may be rearing at any one time is 2-3. 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 are lost.
The breeding season is March to April, so Tasmanian devils breed just once a year. They start at around age 2, and breed each year for their short lifespan of 6-8 years.
