Koala joeys stay in the mother's pouch for several months, only coming out for short periods of time until they are ready to stay out for longer. the mother's pouch provides all the protection they need. They also spend weeks using their strong claws to cling securely to the mother's back.

∙ 11y agoKoalas are marsupials, meaning that most of them (not all) have pouches. Koalas carry their young, which is called a joey, in an external pouch positioned low down on their abdomen. When the joey outgrows the pouch, it then clings to the mother's back for several more months. This helps to keep it safe as it is not left alone.
