Only the koala joey lives in a pouch.
Koalas have a pouch for the development of their joey. Koalas joeys are born very undeveloped, and they need to complete their development in the mother koala's pouch, where they can stay attached to a teat for all their nutritional needs, and where they are protected.
The koala baby feeds only on mothers' milk for 6-7 months. To make the transition from mothers' milk to eucalyptus leaves, at about 6-7 months the joey begins to feed on "pap", which is actually a special form of the mother's droppings through which she can pass onto her joey the micro organisms which allow for digestion of eucalyptus leaves. No other animal lives solely on gum leaves, and special proteins are needed to digest them. One of the reasons the koala has a backward-opening pouch is so that the joey can stick its head out and feed on this pap which comes from the mother's own digestive system. When the joey grows too large to fit in its mother's pouch, by about the age of ten months, it still feeds a bit on mother's milk, lying on her stomach to feed, and spending the rest of its time firmly attached to her back. It only leaves "home" when the next breeding season starts.

What is koalas reproduction?
After mating, the koala pregnancy only lasts for around 35 days. When the young koala is ready to be born, the female sits on a branch. The cloaca is used for both mating and for excretement. During birth, fluid comes out of the female's cloaca first, then the baby koala. It is born without hair. Koalas are marsupials, which means the baby koala is born in the early stages of development, and then further develops in the mother's pouch. The still developing koala must make a journey to it's mother's pouch after it's born. To do so, it has strong arms that grasp it's mother's fur as it makes it's way to the safety of her pouch. The baby koala is called a Joey. The Joey then attaches its mouth to its mother's breast and feeds from her. The baby remains in the pouch for about 5 months. The pouch is important in keeping the baby koala safe. The environment in the pouch is kept constant, no matter what the environment is like outside the pouch. After the 5 months in the pouch, the koala will get out of the pouch and explore. It only goes back into the pouch if it feels unsafe or for sleeping. When the koala reaches 8 months old, it no longer goes into the pouch. When the koala reaches one year in age, the mother help the young get accustomed to eating leaves. The digested gum leaves come out of the cloaca of the mother and the young koala eats that. This digested food contains bacteria that will help the young koala in its development.
