Wombat young (joeys) are born extremely undeveloped. Most of their development actually takes place in the pouch, where they latch onto a teat and stay attached (the teat swell in their mouth) until they are old enough to begin short trips leaving the pouch. Wombat mothers therefore carry their young in the pouch until they are old enough to begin walking and feeding by themselves.
