Marsupials are
different from
most mammals
because they
give birth to
very underde-
veloped young.
Joeys are born
hairless and tiny,
about the size
of a bean and
must climb their
way up into
their mother’s
pouch. They
remain here to
feed and sleep
and grow—
in six months
they grow to be
2,000 times the
size they were
at birth.
Where can kangaroos be found?

What do you call a
kangaroo that weighs
less than 45 lbs (25kg)?
What do you call a baby
kangaroo?
Their strong back legs launch kangaroos into the air. And their tails help them balance, as
they hop great distances. When they hop, kangaroos use only their hind legs, which move
together, much like those of a rabbit.
