The smallest known member of the very wide-ranging kangaroo family is the Musky Rat-kangaroo, which is about 23cm long.
Various other members of the kangaroo family - of which there are over 60 - range in size between those two.

How does a kangaroo have babies?
Female kangaroos have two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These are for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there is a midline pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth. Female kangaroos can often be in a state of almost permanent pregnancy, with an embryo "suspended" until the mother's body is ready to release it - whether that be when another joey is sufficiently weaned, or feeding conditions have improved.The gestation period lasts 31-36 days. Baby kangaroos are the size of a jellybean when they are born. They are born blind and hairless. A baby kangaroo is born from the female's uterus and then climbs up the outer fur of the female and into the upward facing pouch where it attaches itself to a nipple until it becomes stronger. The mother kangaroo licks a path to the pouch to help guide the joey. Baby kangaroos live in their mother's pouch and feed by drinking milk. The teat swells in the joey's mouth, securing it in place so it cannot be accidentally dislodged. The joey will usually stay in the pouch for about 6-9 months.
How are baby kangaroos fed?
The female kangaroo feeds her joey on mothers' milk. When first born, a baby kangaroo is about 2cm in length, and completely helpless. After birth, it crawls to the mother's pouch, where it latches on to a teat which then swells in its mouth, securing it in place. Here, the joey will stay permanently attached for several months while it continues to develop. The mother's milk is specially formulated to meet the needs of the joey, and contains no lactose. Female kangaroos are able to produce three different kinds of milk to meet the different nutritional needs of the joey at different stages of its development. It is not unusual for a female kangaroo to have a newborn in its pouch, an older joey in the pouch, and an almost-weaned joey that occasionally sticks its head inside to have a drink - and to be feeding each of them a different type of milk.

How does a baby wallaby get to the mother's pouch?
Essentially, the baby wallaby uses instinct. When a joey is born, its mother prepares a path for it from the birth canal to the pouch by licking her fur so it lies flat and in the direction the joey must travel. This is actually not to guide the joey so much as to stop it from drying out before it reaches the pouch. The tiny joey uses its claws and front legs to clutch the mother's fur until it reaches the pouch, where it attaches to a teat that then swells in its mouth. The joey stays attached there for a minimum of two months.

What causes a pouch from a gastric bypass to stretch and what can be done to correct it?
The pouch stretches if someone overeats. You have to listen to your stomach (or your pouch) and stop eating when you're no longer hungry.
