Baby kangaroo is called a joey. When it is born it’s about the size of a jelly bean. It starts off with no fur, eyes closed, no ears, and just its two front paws which it can use to crawl. The tiny joey crawls by grabbing the fur of its mother’s belly and finds its way into the mother’s pouch. There it sucks onto her nipple. It stays there for months and months, too small and undeveloped to do anything. When white explorers first came to Australia, they couldn’t separate the tiny baby joey from the mothers’ nipples. They thought that joeys started off as a bud on the end of the nipples. After a few months the joey doesn’t need to stay attached to the nipple all the time. It can look out of the pouch.
