What other animals carry their babies in outside pouches?

Answer 1

Animals that carry their young in a pouch are marsupials. They include:

• kangaroo (Red kangaroo, Eastern Grey)
• tree kangaroo
• wallaroo
• koala
• wombat
• Tasmanian devil
• wallaby (e.g. swamp wallaby, rock wallaby, hare-wallaby)
• bilby
• bandicoot
• quoll
• quokka
• pademelon
• potoroo
• possum (quite different to the North American opossum)
• opossum (not native to Australia)
• sugar glider and other gliders
• phascogale / tuan / wambenger
• dunnart
• antechinus (including the Little red kaluta) and false antechinus
• rat-kangaroo (not kangaroo-rat, which is not a marsupial)
• bettong
• cuscus
• kultarr
• mulgara
• ningaui
• dibbler
• planigale
• bettong
• kowari
• marsupial mole
• triok
• boodie
• woylie
• marsupial shrew

Even though the echidna is not a marsupial, it carries its young in a rudimentary pouch that it develops during the breeding season. This is until the echidna develops its spines.

Answer 2

Marsupials give birth to very undeveloped young, which then spend several months in a pouch, attached to a teat, where they receive all their nutritional needs. The pouch is actually known as a marsupium. These animals include the following species:

• kangaroo
• wombat
• koala
• possum
• glider
• Tasmanian devil
• bandicoot
• bilby
• potoroo
• quokka
• wallaby
• wallaroo
• pademelon
• phascogale
• quoll
• rat-kangaroo (not kangaroo-rat)
• dunnart
• planigale
• kultarr
• ningaui
• antechinus
• Virginia opossum
• numbat - one of the few marsupials which does not have a pouch

Marsupials are a class of mammals in which females carry their young, known as joeys, until they are ready to live independently. The joey is born extremely undeveloped and spend their first many months of life attached to a teat in the pouch, where they grow and develop.

One of the monotremes also has a rudimentary pouch. Platypuses and echidnas are monotremes, which lay eggs. Platypus young are not raised in a pouch, but echidnas do develop a temporary pouch which is really just a fold of skin, during the breeding season. The young are not raised in the pouch once they begin to grow spines, but that is where the egg is incubated, and where the young are initially kept.

Here are some animals that carry their young in pouches:

kangaroos

koalas

bandicoots

wombats

gliders

wallabies

quokkas

quolls

possums

Tasmanian devils

All of these are known as marsupials.
An animal that carries its young is a pouch is usually a marsupial. This group of animals includes kangaroos, koalas, wombats, wallabies, bandicoots, possums, gliders, bilbies, dunnarts, phascogales, quolls and Tasmanian devils, just to name a few.

Not all marsupials have fully developed abdominal pouches. The numbat, for example, does not have a pouch, but it is still a marsupial.
Marsupial.

However, it is important to note that not all marsupials have pouches.

Marsupial young are characterised by being extremely small and undeveloped at birth. At birth, they take a long, arduous journey from the birth canal, driven purely by instinct, grabbing hold of the mother marsupial's fur which she has cleaned and made easier to traverse with saliva, to reach the pouch. Upon reaching the pouch, they latch onto a teat which swells in their mouth to prevent them from being accidentally dislodged during the mother's movements. There they stay for months, to complete their development. Not all marsupials have pouches, e.g. the numbat has a mere flap of skin, but in animals where the pouch is absent, the young are still born undeveloped, and they cling by instinct to the underside of their mother's belly, still firmly attached to teats which swell in their mouths.

In addition, the echidna is a monotreme - an egg-laying mammal - which develops a pouch during breeding season purely for the purpose of incubating the egg and nurturing the newly hatched echidna.
These are the marsupials, which include animals such as kangaroos, koalas, wombats, possums, wallabies and Tasmanian devils, to name a few.

Not all marsupials have fully developed pouches, but all marsupials give birth to very undeveloped young. These tiny, hairless, blind joeys which are about 1-2cm in length, then continue their development in the mother's pouch, or firmly attached to the nipples on the mother's underside, as the teat swells in their mouth once they clamp on, securing them in place.

Answer 3

Marsupials generally carry their young in a pouch, though not all marsupials do so - the numbat, for example, is a marsupial without a properly developed abdominal pouch. Marsupial young (joeys) are born extremely undeveloped. They must continue their growth and development in their mother's pouch, attached to a teat where they receive the same nutrients they would receive if they were placental mammals still in the womb.

Specific examples of pouched mammals include:

• kangaroo
• wallaby
• wallaroo
• koala
• wombat
• Tasmanian devil
• possum
• quoll
• potoroo
• dunnart
• bilby
• quokka

It is interesting to note that one of the monotremes (egg-laying mammals), the echidna, also carries its young in a very rudimentary pouch that it develops during breeding season. The egg is deposited directly into the pouch, and the baby echidna stays in the pouch after hatching for several months.

Answer 4

An animal that carries its young is a pouch is usually a marsupial. This group of animals includes kangaroos, koalas, wombats, wallabies, bandicoots, possums, gliders, bilbies, dunnarts, phascogales, quolls and Tasmanian devils, just to name a few.

Not all marsupials have fully developed abdominal pouches. The numbat, for example, does not have a pouch, but it is still a marsupial.

Only marsupials such as kangaroo, possum, koala, sugar glider. squirrel glider.

Pouched mammals are called marsupials.
