Do kangaroos bring food to their young?
No. Baby joeys that are still in the pouch feed on mothers' milk. Older joeys learn to graze with their mothers.
How long do kangaroos look after their joeys?
There are over 60 species of kangaroos, so the figure varies. For the animals most commonly recognised as kangaroos (e.g. Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos), the average time they stay in the pouch is about 7-8 months. At this age, the kangaroos is still too young to leave its mother, so it's another few months before it is fully independent.
How do kangaroos clean their pouch?
A female kangaroo cleans her pouch by licking it out. She is able to push her long snout in to clean it effectively, removing the urine and faeces of the young joey by using her tongue. The female kangaroo works her tongue around a young joey that is still attached to the teat. Older joeys will be temporarily ejected while the mother cleans the pouch.

Do kangaroos live longer in captivity?
Kangaroos being cared for by specially licensed wildlife carers will still essentially feed on fresh grass and young shoots. However, they also enjoy a variety of vegetables and grains.
How long do baby kangaroos drink their mothers milk?
Baby kangaroos feed on their mothers' milk for up to a year. They are completely dependent upon the milk for the first 6-7 months (for the larger species), but even after they begin eating vegetation, they will still return to the pouch for milk from time to time. Female kangaroos can have two joeys of completely different ages in her pouch at the same time, each drinking a different type of milk suitable for their age, whilst a third, almost-grown joey may stick its head inside the pouch occasionally to also have a drink.
Are kangaroos still around?
Yes. There are millions of kangaroos in their native country of Australia, especially Grey Kangaroos and Red Kangaroos. Factor in all the species of wallabies, tree kangaroos, potoroos, quokkas, rat-kangaroos and wallaroos, and there is no question about whether or not kangaroos are still around.

Do baby kangaroos have to climb to their mothers pouch?
By the time a joey gets out of its mother's pouch, it is like a miniature version of the adult. It has well-formed forelegs and hind legs. It will duck into the mother's pouch head-first, using its forelegs to help it, and often with its hind feet still protruding from the top. It will gradually wriggle itself into a more comfortable position. Joeys rarely stay in the pouch in an upright position, but often have their limbs at awkward angles in various directions.
How does the kangaroo mother take care of three babies with only one pouch?
Baby kangaroos (Joeys) are tiny. As they grow, after they have left the pouch, they spend less and less time there, turning for a drink of milk or in time of danger. By the time it becomes crowded, they spend most of their time on the ground. Female kangaroos are capable of providing different milk to meet the different growth and nutrition needs of joeys of differing ages. Another point is that female kangaroos rarely gives birth to more than one joey at a time. The newborn joey only emerges at an opportune time (kangaroos have embryonic diapause, meaning they can suspend the growth of an embryo while it is still in the womb), and this is usually when the other joey is much older. The tiny newborn joey is barely 2cm long, so it takes up almost no space, and by the time it starts to grow significantly, the older joey is spending more and more time out of the pouch. Meanwhile, if there are three, the oldest joey has only been taking milk occasionally, and not actually spending any time in the pouch.
