  • Pouch?!

  • @THELEGITCLOWNN

    Unlike the kangaroos you see in cartons, a real live kangaroo's pouch doesn't look like a floppy pocketbook. A marsupial pouch is like a big elastic pocket with a strong sphincter muscle that controls how open or tightly closed it is. A kangaroo's pouch has no connection with her vagina, which is situated much lower on her body.

  • hahaha are kangaroos born out of a pouch

  • @TheUberAsian -- No, kangaroos are born after a 30-day pregnancy through a midline passage known as the

    pseudovaginal canal, that acts as a shortcut from the uterus to the outside.The iinch-long neonate is blind and hairless with only its forelegs developed. It must climb up mom's abdomen a few inches into the pouch, where it fastens onto a nipple. It stays there until it's fully developed, about six to eight months, like the joey showed in the video.

  • are kangaroos born out of the pouch???

  • @cupcake3137

    Kangaroos are mammals, and are born out of the birth canal just like humans. However, their gestation period is only a month, not 9 months like humans. As a result, the newborn Kangaroo is blind, hairless, with only it's front legs developed. After birth, it climbs from the birth canal to the pouch, fastens onto a nipple and stays fastened on for about 4 months while it develops into something that looks like the joey in the video.
