Learn why baby kangaroos stay in their mother's pouch and how it helps them feel safe and cozy as they grow.
Hi there! Let me tell you about baby kangaroos. Baby kangaroos are called joeys. When a joey is very little, it can’t walk or take care of itself yet. So, it stays inside its mummy kangaroo’s pouch.
The pouch is like a special soft pocket on the mother kangaroo’s tummy. It keeps the baby kangaroo warm and safe, just like a cozy blanket. It also helps the baby kangaroo stay close to its mummy so it doesn’t get lost or hurt.
Inside the pouch, the joey can drink milk from its mother and grow big and strong. When the joey is ready, it will hop out to explore the world, but it will always have its mother nearby to keep it safe.
Isn’t that a nice way to stay safe and loved?
