Baby quokkas, known as joeys, develop in their mother's pouch for about six months. They initially crawl into the pouch shortly after birth, using their forelimbs to cling to the mother's fur. As they grow, they navigate within the pouch by using their limbs to adjust their position for comfort and access to milk. Once they are strong enough, they will begin to peek out of the pouch and eventually venture outside.
Yes. Quokkas, like most (not all) marsupials, do have a pouch in which the joey is raised.
Quokkas are marsupials, so they give birth to underdeveloped young that crawl into their mother's pouch. The baby quokka stays in the pouch for several months nursing and developing until it is ready to venture out on its own. The mother provides milk and care for the baby until it is old enough to survive independently.
Quokkas reproduce sexually. Quokkas are marsupials so, like other marsupials, they give birth to undeveloped young. The young joey then makes its way to the pouch where it latches onto a teat, staying there for months.
Quokkas are marsupials so, like all marsupials, they give birth to embryonic young that are extremely undeveloped. These tiny newborns are blind, hairless, and about the size of a bean. When they are born, they crawl into their mother's pouch where they attach to one of the teats which swells inside the joey's mouth, ensuring it will not be dislodged when the mother moves. They usually give birth to a single baby at a time, and the joey will stay in its mother's pouch for around 25 weeks.

Most (not all) species of marsupials carry their young in a pouch. These animals include kangaroos, wallabies, potoroos, bandicoots, possums, Tasmanian devils, koalas, wombats, quolls, quokkas and many other species.

A young quokka will first leave the pouch once it is between 175 and 195 days old. It will not leave permanently until three to four months later. Quokkas have embryonic diapause, which means that one day after a baby is delivered and enters the pouch, the female mates again. The young in the pouch develops, but the young that (hypothetically) resulted from the second mating stalls its development after just a few days. If the young in the pouch dies before it is around 150 days old, the second young resumes its development, is delivered 24-27 days later, and enters the pouch. If not, the second young will wait until the next breeding season to resume its development.
The baby in a Kangaskhan's pouch is merely a younger Kangaskhan.
A kangaroo's pouch is called just that: a pouch. The biological term is marsupium.
Very small koalas remain in their mother's pouch. The koala joey only emerges from the pouch when it is old enough to cling securely to its mother's back.
The quokka is a mammal so, like other mammals, it nurtures its young on mothers' milk. The quokka joey receives this milk while still developing in its mother's pouch. The joey stays in the mother quokka's pouch for between 175 and 195 days. For awhile after it leaves, it will return to the security of the mother's pouch if it is scared or cold.
