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

Only marsupials such as kangaroo, possum, koala, sugar glider. squirrel glider.
It is a marsupial. Two examples are the wallaby and kangaroo.
Pouched mammals are called marsupials.
Marsupials
I believe they all have pouches to carry their babies in.
Kangaroos carry their babies in special pouches on their bellies.
Remove the apostrophe.Marsupials are mammals that carry their babies in stomach pouches.Incidentally, not all marsupials are pouched. For some species, the "pouch" is nothing more than a flap of skin.
Lions don't have pouches
I'm pretty sure only marsupials ( kangaroos , koalas , etc.) have pouches to carry their young.
No, hedgehogs are not marsupials. Marsupials is the group of mammals that carry their babies in pouches. Some marsupials are kangaroos, opossums, surprisingly koalas!
they have special pouches that they/ carry their babies in. Mammals like these are called marsupials.
No. Rats are rodents, not marsupials, so they do not have pouches.
leprechauns carry two pouches
Chipmunks will do this.
Koalas have opposable fingers and their paws are specially adapted to grip tree branches. Female koalas have pouches in which they carry their babies and they have tough skin on the bottom of their feet to help with traction on tree branches.
Maltesse carry babies for 60 days
