Wallaroos, also known as Euros, are marsupials. This means they have a short gestation period of 32 days and their young, called joeys, are born very undeveloped, only about 2cm long. They have to climb from the birth canal to the mother's pouch.
They spend about 6-8 months in the mother's pouch being nursed. In the initial stages, the joey stays attached to the teat for about ten weeks until it is ready to begin being independent. A mother wallaroo is capable of having more than one joey of different ages in the pouch at the same time, feeding on different types of milk.
Wallaroos reach reproductive age at 18 months to two years. They can live up to 18 years, but predation by other animals often reduces this.
