Joy As 10 Tasmanian Devil Joeys Emerge From Australia’s Breeding Program [1]

"Experts say four more of the marsupials were expected to conceive in breeding season, which runs from February to June each year" 

"Ten tiny, egg-like joeys have been confirmed as the newest members of mainland Australia’s largest fleet of Tasmanian devils.

It comes after the first pouch check of the 2025 breeding season at Aussie Ark’s Barrington Tops sanctuary in northern NSW.

A recent deluge that brought more than 600mm to the region didn’t rain on the devils’ parade, with a spokesperson saying all the joeys, mums and dads were safe."

Australian Associated Press had the story June 5, 2025. [2]
