Why Yapoks Need a Pouch for Their Junk

The video explores the unique characteristics of the Yapak, also known as the water opossum, which is the only marsupial adapted to an aquatic lifestyle.

The video also compares the Yapak's adaptations to those of other aquatic mammals, highlighting different evolutionary solutions to similar environmental challenges.
