Best Answer

New born baby kangaroos look red (or rather, pink) because they are completely hairless. Newborn joeys of any marsupial are undeveloped embryos, and this is why they spend so long growing in the mother's pouch.

No. Red kangaroos are not at all in danger. In some parts of Australia, they are considered a pest and, unfortunately, farmers have successfully lobbied to have them culled.

The mother kangaroo can be pregnant with one baby while another joey is still in her pouch: that second baby will not emerge from the birth canal until the first joey is fully weaned. This way, the health of both parent and baby is ensured.
