Question

Why does a kangaroo keeps her young ones in an abdominal pouch?

Answer 1

A baby kangaroo — called a joey — is about the size of a lima bean when it's born! The mother's pouch provides a safe place for her babies to stay until they grow large enough to survive outside the pouch on their own. Since pouches are for babies to stay in, only female kangaroos have them.
