how does a tree kangaroo's reproduction?

Answer 1

Tree kangaroos, like other mammals, reproduce sexually. They are able to breed all year round. Female kangaroos have two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These are for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there is a midline pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth.

The gestation period lasts 39-45 days, longer than other members of the kangaroo family. Baby tree kangaroos are the size of a jellybean when they are born. The female takes up the birthing position with her tail between her legs. The joey is born blind and hairless. It 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 tree kangaroo licks a path to the pouch to help guide the joey. Joeys 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 8 months.

The plant "Kangaroo paw" reproduces by seeds. The seeds can be germinated because of the flower's unique design. The flowers are deep and bell-like and insects which feed on the nectar contained in the flowers unknowingly carry the pollen around on their heads to fertilise the other plants as they feed.

The Tasmanian Forester Kangaroos is also known as the eastern Grey kangaroo. Like most kangaroos, it is able to breed all year round. 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 consitions have improved.

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. Baby kangaroos, known as joeys, live in their mother's pouch and feed by drinking milk. The joey will usually stay in the pouch for about 6-9 months.

Answer 4

Kangaroos and platypuses are both mammals, so they reproduce sexually.

Female kangaroos have two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These are for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there is a midline pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth. The young joey then attaches to a teat in the pouch where it remains while it develops. 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.

Platypuses reproduce by laying eggs, which hatch into young platypuses that initially feed off mothers' milk. The platypus is a monotreme, or egg-laying mammal, just like the echidna, and quite unique to Australia. Platypuses lay eggs in a chamber at the end of a burrow dug into a riverbank or next to a creek.
