The female Tasmanian devil is the one that cares for the young. This is the case with all marsupial mammals. The mother Tasmanian devil has a pouch in which the young are carried for appriximately 100 days. Whilst in this pouch, the baby Tasmanian devils, called joeys, feed entirely off mothers' milk. The pouch faces backwards, like that of the wombat, so it does not get filled with dirt while the animal is digging.
