To answer the question in the simplest way, the Tasmanian devil has a backbone.
However, there is more to it than that, especially given that there are two invertebrate chordate groups - Urochordata (tunicates) and Cephalachordata (lancelets) - whose backbone is not in the form of actual vertebrae.
As Chordates (or members of the phylum Chordata), Tasmanian devils share the following characteristics:
dorsal nerve cord which is a bundle of nerve fibres which runs down the back. It connects the brain with the lateral muscles and other organs.
notochordwhich is a cartilaginous rod running underneath, and supporting, the nerve cord - in the case of the cockatoo, a spine.
post-anal tail - an extension of the body past the anal opening. (This feature is not always present in some adult Chordates such as frogs and humans, but it is present in the cockatoo.)
Pharyngeal pouches - Chordates, at some stage of their life, have pharyngeal grooves and pouches that develop into other essential parts of their anatomy.
The phylum Chordata includes ALL animals with backbones. A Kangaroo has a backbone and so do Fish, Lizards, Birds, Bats, Elephants and Humans.,
Chordata.
Tasmanian devil is the correct spelling.
Tasmanian devils do not eat other live Tasmanian devils. They will, however, readily feed on the carcass of another Tasmanian devil that has died.
No, the Tasmanian devil does not live in the desert.
The Tasmanian devil has a conservation status of Endangered.
The Tasmanian devil belongs to the class Mammalia.
The Tasmanian devil has a conservation status of Endangered.
rat + pouch = tasmanian devil

A "Tasmanian Devil" is an animal. As such it does not have any geography. The Term "geography" can only be applied to land not animals. For instance you could as "What is the geography of Tasmania" or "What is the geographical habitat of the Tasmanian Devil" but not "What is the geography of a Tasmanian Devil".For the habitat of the Tasmanian devil, see the related question.
Yes - Tasmanian devils are nocturnal. The Tasmanian Devil hunts primarily at night.
