Kangaroos keep their young in a pouch located on the female's abdomen.

This pouch is properly called a marsupium. Kangaroo joeys crawl in there immediately after birth, and latch onto a teat which swells in their mouth, preventing them from being dislodged. They stay attached to the teat for several months. After this time they are old enough to begin wandering away from the pouch for short periods of time, but quickly return to the pouch to feed, and for safety.
