Kangaroos, like all mammals, have mammary glands. The mammary glands are vital to the development of the young joey.

Not only that, but the mammary glands of kangaroos are capable of producing different milk for different aged joeys. Ina good season, a new joey may be born while another joey is still in the pouch. The female kangaroo produces milk to serve the different needs of each.
