This is called embryonic diapause. The mother kangaroo spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times, she has the ability to indefinitely "freeze" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished. It enables survival of the species.
Male embryos have XY chromosomes, while female embryos have XX chromosomes. This genetic difference determines the development of male or female reproductive organs. Hormonal differences also play a role in shaping the physical characteristics of male and female embryos.
Yes. All female kangaroos have a pouch.
Yes. Although they are tiny, bean-sized embryos when first born, kangaroo joeys have all the features they will need later in life, including their tail, and a pouch for the female.
Yes. Young female kangaroos do have pouches. Males never develop a pouch.
Yes, all of them have tails
Kangaroos are herbivores. They do not hunt.
Yes they do.
Baby kangaroo
In the early stages of development, an embryo's sex is not yet determined. The sex of the embryo is determined by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome from the father. Once the sex chromosomes are determined, the embryo will develop into a male or female.
Placentals
Of course they do! They are live born mammals!
In the development of humans, the default is female. That is the reason that all humans have nipples.
