I WONDER - Why Do Kangaroos Have A Pouch? Me Pregunto - Por Qué Los Canguros Tienen Una Bolsa?

Kangaroos are marsupials that give birth to underdeveloped offspring, known as joeys, which continue to grow outside the uterus. Female kangaroos have a special pouch where the young are kept safe and warm while they develop. The young remain in the pouch for about 6 to 9 months before venturing into the world.

What is the purpose of the pouch in female kangaroos?

• To store food

• To keep the young safe and warm

• For mating

• For carrying water
