What does the kangaroo use his pouch for apart from carrying his baby?

For a start, the kangaroo does not use "his" pouch for anything. Only the female kangaroo has a pouch. This pouch is not used to just "carry" the joey, but it acts as the womb does in placental mammals, protecting and nurturing the young joey while it is developing. It has no other function apart from this. It is not used to collect food or for any other purpose.
