This feature is not restricted to kangaros. It is characteristic of all marsupials. The pouch serves a similar purpose to the uterus in placental mammals.

There are over 60 species of kangaroos, so the figure varies.

At this age, the kangaroos is still too young to leave its mother, so it's another few months before it is fully independent.
