How do they reproduce?
The tasmanian devil is a marsupial. That means it gives birth to the baby devil and then it gets raised or it grows up in the mother's pouch.
Marsupials give birth to living babies. The babies are called joeys. The babies feed on milk. Their babies are born very small.
Marsupials have a special pouch where they carry their babies. After the birth the baby goes into its mother's pouch, where it can drink milk and is kept warm and safe. When the babies are young they stay in the pouch all the time, but when they are older they can leave it for short times.

Low genetic diversety
Here is a definition of low genetic diversity... Low genetic diversity is like when you are marrying a relative and they have a disease. You both have similar genes so you will have the disease too. That means when your baby is born it's going to have a disease as well. So since there aren't that many devils left they can only mate with their family members. So of course there will be something wrong with the baby devil.
