The female Tasmanian devil's pouch, like that of the wombat, opens to the rear, so it is physically difficult for the female to interact with young inside the pouch. Despite the large litter at birth, the female has only four nipples, so there are never more than four babies nursing in the pouch, and the older a female devil gets, the smaller ...
The smallest species is the Pilbara ningaui, which is from 4.6 to 5.7 cm (1.8 to 2.2 in) in length, and weighs just 2 to 9 g (0.07 to 0.3 oz), while the largest, the Tasmanian devil, is 57 to 65 cm (22 to 26 in) long, and weighs from 6 to 8 kg (13 to 18 lb). The smaller dasyurids typically resemble shrews or mice in appearance, with long tails ...
The Tasmanian devil, an iconic Tasmanian mammal. Tasmanian mammals are divided into three major groups based on reproductive techniques: egg laying mammals (the monotremes), pouched mammals (the marsupials), and placental mammals. This is a list of mammals of Tasmania:

He then said that babies often use their teeth to hold on to the back, and that Tasmanian Devil moms have thicker back skins specifically for this reason.

One of the smallest carnivorous marsupials, its weight varies between 10–20 grams (0.35–0.71 oz). The tail becomes fat a few milimeters from the proximal end and remains so right up to the tip. The dunnart has trichromat vision, similar to that of some other marsupials as well as primates, but unlike most mammals, which have dichromat vision.
The Tasmanian Devil is one of the world's largest meat-eating marsupials that is an apex predator on the country's southern island. It died out on the mainland around 3,500 years ago.
