Babyies in Pouches Animals

         The kangaroo belongs to a group of mammals whose young ones are carried in a pouch on the mother's body. When a baby kangaroo is born, it is no bigger than your thumb , but  it manages find its way to its mother's pouch . There it grips one of its mother's milk giving teats with its mouth  and does not let go for several months. Fed by the mothers rich milk , the young kangaroo  grow steadily for about six month, until it is ready to leave the pouch. It is called a joey at this stage. It can hop around on its own , but it does it not go far from its mother and returns frequently for a feed.
              By the time the joy is about nine months old it is getting too bog for the pouch , and its mother won't allow it to climb in. But the joey  stays close to its mother until it is about eighteen months old .
             Mammals with pouches are called marsupials . Other well-known marsupials include the kola, the bandicoot ,and the opossum.All there babies are small and helpless at birth. Opossum babies are no larger then kidney beans. Most of the marsupials live in Australia and New Guinea.
