The young pouch in a kangaroo carries it

1 answer

The young pouch in a kangaroo, known as a "joey," carries the developing young kangaroo. After birth, a joey is born very small and underdeveloped, and it crawls into its mother's pouch, where it continues to grow and develop. The pouch provides a safe and warm environment for the joey, allowing it to nurse and develop until it is sufficiently mature to start exploring the outside world. The pouch is a unique adaptation that is characteristic of marsupials, including kangaroos.
