Baby Kangaroo
Most Australians will know that a “joey” is a baby kangaroo. They are so cartoonishly adorable, but their journey into this world is amazing. It is in the pouch of their mothers that extends out of their stomachs that joeys are born. Here they will weigh under a gram and will measure around an inch. The joey will then suckle from within the pouch and make progressively longer journeys out of his safe and warm pouch up until the day that the joey is happy to be independent. Such an event takes place between seven and ten months of development.
