Yes it is true. They are born extremely undeveloped, weigh just 0.5 grams (0.018 ounces), are about the size of a bee and measure just 19 mm on average. They undertake an arduous journey from the birth canal to the mother's pouch where they latch onto a teat. There they stay to continue their growth and development.
