A kangaroo baby or "joey" is made like any other offspring; sperm - egg - gestation - birth. But a joey is different in that it is born very young (31 days, and about the size of a lima bean) and crawls up into it's mother's pouch where it is fed (on teats in the pouch) and nurtured until it can survive outside of the pouch (about 9 months).
In a way, you could say that Joey's have a second gestation period in which they actually get to know their mother.
Sounds kinda nice.
