Do male kangaroos have pouches?
No, only the female. The pouch is where the tiny young kangaroo crawls to develop further, attached to a teat. Only female kangaroos have pouches just as only female mammals have a uterus. The sole purpose of the pouch is to give the underdeveloped baby a safe place to grow and feed until it is old enough to live independently of its mother.

How deep are kangaroos pouches?

Why do tree kangaroos have pouches?
Tree kangaroos have pouches for the same season that other kangaroos have pouches: to provide a safe, nurturing environment in which the joey can develop. As with all marsupials, the young are born very undeveloped after a gestation period that is much shorter than that of placental mammals of similar size. Upon birth, the joey must crawl to the mother's pouch where it attaches themselves to a teat. The teat swells in the joey's mouth, securing it in place so that it can continue its development within the safety of the pouch, much as a placental mammal protects its baby within its womb. The pouch is essential to the development of the young, functioning as the womb does in placental mammals. The tree kangaroo's pouch is developed to carry around the baby kangaroo (called a 'joey') until it is large and strong enough to catch up to the mother.
