Newborn Tasmanian devils weigh between 0.18 and 0.24 grams. Competition in these animals lasts from the first seconds of life. After birth, they have to travel from the vagina to the female's nesting pouch and attach themselves to the nipple. Unfortunately, the female has only four and can feed the same number of young. When a newborn Tasmanian devil reaches the breeding pouch, it attaches to the nipple and remains so attached for the next 100 days.
