What is a life cycle of a tree kangaroo?
The tree kangaroo has a gestation period of about 39 - 45 days, depending on the species. A joey is born very undeveloped, tiny, blind and hairless, then it crawls into its mother's pouch. It attaches to a nipple for about 90-100 days, and stays in the pouch for a total of 8-9 months. The tree kangaroo reaches reproductive age at about two years old.
How old can a kangaroo get?
There are over 60 species of kangaroos, and their life span varies according to their species. The larger species live the longest, and their average life expectancy in the wild is 10 - 15 years. In captivity, some species have been said to live to 20 years or more.They usually have a life span of about 9-18 years, but may live to be up to 28 years old.

What is the kangaroo rat's life cycle?
Koalas breed between August and February. 35 days after conception, the tiny, blind, hairless embryo emerges and moves into its mother's pouch, purely by instinct. At this stage it weighs about half a gram. Once in the mother's pouch, it then latches onto a teat, which swells in its mouth, securing it firmly so it does not fall out of the pouch. The koala baby, called a joey, feeds only on mothers' milk for 6-7 months. To make the transition from mothers' milk to eucalyptus leaves, at about 6-7 months the joey begins to feed on "pap", which is actually a special form of the mother's droppings through which she can pass onto her joey the micro organisms which allow for digestion of eucalyptus leaves. No other animal lives solely on gum leaves, and special proteins are needed to digest them. One of the reasons the koala has a backward-opening pouch is so that the joey can stick its head out and feed on this pap which comes from the mother's own digestive system. When the joey grows too large to fit in its mother's pouch, it still feeds a bit on mother's milk, lying on her stomach to feed, and spending the rest of its time firmly attached to her back. It only leaves "home" when the next breeding season starts. For a diagram of the koala's life cycle, see the related link below.

Explain how the red kangaroo utilities embryonic diapause in conjunction with food availability?
The mother kangaroo spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times, she has the ability to indefinitely "freeze" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished. This is called embryonic diapause. Quite simply, the young joey will not be born until or unless there is enough food to nourish the mother and, through her, the suckling joey.
