A red kangaroos joey is born very immature and crawls into its mothers pouch. It is less than two centimetres in length, weighs about a gram and is completely hairless. After a few weeks the joey becomes more active and has 4 teets in the mothers pouch which all have different levels of nutrient to caster for the joey as it matures. After 5 to 6 months the joeysjoeyspends more time out of the pouch than in but if frightened will jump head first into the mother's pouch. Often with a comical legs spiralled out of the pouch look. At 8 to 10 months the juvenile is ready to start grazing and the mother who has had an already fertilized embryo in waiting then gives birth a month later and repeats the process.
