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.

The Tasmanian devil is a most usual marsupial, in that it actually gives birth to between 20 and 40 joeys at a time.

The remaining joeys all die.
