When a joey is born, despite being tiny and undeveloped, it makes its way to the mother's pouch where it latches onto a teat. The teat swells in its mouth, securing it firmly in the pouch, and here the joey remains for many months, growing and developing. This is all that goes on in the pouch - it is a protected place where the young joey can thrive.
