Wallabies and other marsupials have a pouch to protect the undeveloped joey/s. Marsupial young are born after a relatively short gestation period, and they are still in an embryonic state, requiring protection much as a baby in the womb still needs it. Instead of being attached to a placenta, the young are sealed to the teat because of the fact that it swells up in the joey's mouth, securing the baby firmly in place so that it cannot be accidentally dislodged. The joey is then protected safely by the pouch until it is old enough to begin to emerge for short ventures into the outside world.

So, while their reproduction starts internally, the young are carried externally in the pouch.
