Marsupials refers to an order of mammals that incubate their young, which are born very undeveloped, in pouches on their mother's abdomen. Marsupials include koalas, kangaroos and possums. Not all marsupials have a pouch, properly known as a marsupium, but most do have well-developed pouches.
Marsupials are a class of mammals that live primarily in Australasia. They have pouches and include the species kangaroos, wallabies, and wombats.

What is a one letter word for a kangaroo pouch?

Kangaroos are marsupials and, like most (but not all) marsupials, they have a pouch, which is actually called a marsupium. This is positioned at the lower front of the abdomen. All baby marsupials, known as 'joeys' are born very undeveloped after a short gestation period, so they continue to develop in the marsupium, or pouch, for many more months. The purpose of the marsupium is to protect the joey until it has developed enough whereby it can look after itself.
