The gestation period for kangaroos is relatively short, lasting about 30 to 36 days. After this brief period, the underdeveloped young, called a joey, is born and immediately climbs into the mother's pouch, where it continues to develop and nurse for several months. Depending on the species, joeys may stay in the pouch for up to 8 months before venturing out.
The time period from fertilization to birth is called gestation.
The period between fertilization and birth is called pregnancy or the gestation period. For humans, gestation lasts about nine months. and isn't it cute. SO ADORABLE

Kangaroos do not have a longer gestation period, and to do so would be of no advantage anyway. Kangaroos are marsupials, and all marsupials are characterised by having a shorter gestation period than placental mammals of similar size. Most of the kangaroo Joel's development occurs in the mother's pouch, over a period of 8-12 months.

The gestation period of sparrow eggs, from fertilization to hatching, is typically around 10-14 days. During this time, the female sparrow will stay on the nest to keep the eggs warm and help them develop.
