Where do Tasmanian devils breed?

Answer 1

The Tasmanian devil breeds in a den. Tasmanian devils have quite bizarre mating rituals. The female ignores timid and docile males (except, sometimes, as a practice run) and chooses a strong, dominant male that bites and scratches her. After chasing and catching her, the male brings her to his den, continuing to bite and scratch her into submission. When she is satisfied with his dominance, she falls into a trance-like state while he mates with her. Afterward, the male remains with the female to watch over her. However, when the exhausted male finally drops off to sleep, the female will wait at the entrance to the den, before making a dash for freedom. Often, the male will catch her very quickly and bring her back to the den.
