The mother kangaroo spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times, she has the ability to indefinitely "suspend" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished.

The mother can also produce two different types of milk to suit the needs of two different aged joeys. She might have a more mature joey that spends less time in the pouch, while a very young embryo has attached itself to a teat. Each joey has different milk requirements - which the mother is able to supply.
