How long are baby Tasmanian Devils?

Answer 1

The average life span of a Tasmanian devil is 6-8 years. They are more likely to live longer in captivity, as in the wild they are prone to being hit by cars. The Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) has also reduced the life expectancy of at least one third of wild Tasmanian devils.

Answer 2

Baby Tasmanian devils, known as joeys, stay in the mother's pouch for about 4 months, or 16 weeks. After this, they are transferred to a burrow or den for another four months. They will stay here for around 10 months, by which time they are old enough to leave their mother. Altogether, they stay with the mother until they about a year and a half old.
