Where do marsupial mammals complete their development?

After birth, most young marsupials, known as joeys, develop in the mother's pouch on her abdomen. Within the pouch, the teat swells in the young joey's mouth to help secure it in place. The joey remains in the pouch for up to nine months, depending on the species of marsupial. There are some exceptions to this: the numbat, for example, has no pouch. The young remain secured in place by the swollen teat in their mouth, clinging to the mother's underbelly.

Placental mammals, when born, are able to live independently of the mother's body.


Mammals that retain their young within the body of the mother for a long period of time are called?

Placental mammals retain their young within the body of the mother for a long period of time. Humans, dogs, bears, and mice are all examples of placental mammals.Mammals which do not retain their young for a long period of time are marsupials, all of which have short gestation periods (e.g. kangaroos, koalas, Tasmanian devils, wombats, etc) and monotremes (platypuses and echidnas), which are egg-laying mammals.

How do young marsupials complete their development?

Baby marsupials develop first in their mother's uterus. Inside the uterus is a yolk sac through which nutrients are given to the baby and through which wastes are released from the baby. After a few weeks (a much shorter gestation period than that of placental mammals), the baby has become more developed and is delivered.
