Kangaroos are grey-brown, red-brown or golden-brown marsupials, meaning they are pouched mammals. Their young are born extremely undeveloped, about the size of a kidney bean, and make their way from the mother's birth canal, up a track through her fur which she prepares by licking, to her pouch. There, the joey latches onto a teat which swells in its mouth so it cannot be accidentally dislodged during the mother's movements.
The mother kangaroo is able to feed two different aged joeys simultaneously with different milk which meets each joey's nutritional requirements.
Kangaroos' ears are pointed and able to move in many different directions as they listen for potential dangers.
They have large hindquarters and long feet with which they can hop for long distances. They do not tire, as the hopping motion actually refills their lungs as they move - therefore, there is minimum expenditure of energy.
There are a variety of different sizes of kangaroos, and they are classified according to their sizes.
Baby kangaroos are called joeys. The gestation period lasts 31-36 days. Baby kangaroos are the size of a jellybean when they are born. They are born blind and hairless. A baby kangaroo is born from the female's uterus and then climbs up the outer fur of the female and into the upward facing pouch where it attaches itself to a nipple until it becomes stronger. The mother kangaroo licks a path to the pouch to help guide the joey. Baby kangaroos live in their mother's pouch and feed by drinking milk. The teat swells in the joey's mouth, securing it in place so it cannot be accidentally dislodged. The joey will usually stay in the pouch for about 6-9 months until it is developed enough to leave the pouch and move about independently.
Female kangaroos can often be in a state of almost permanent pregnancy, with an embryo "suspended" until the mother's body is ready to release it - whether that be when another joey is sufficiently weaned, or feeding conditions have improved.
