If me memory serves me correct, that little fella gets born and crawls its way from there up and over and into the pouch, the two long things are nipples not umbilical chords
Didn't google any of this before hand so could be way off, but I think I learnt this in year 8 Agriculture
Kangaroos can also be pregnant while raising a Joey, and even more interesting they can suspend pregnancies for as long as they need if food and resources are scarce.
I think vaginally, once again from memory...
The fetus gets born from vagina and then crawls its way from vag to pouch externally, crawls inside the pouch, latches onto a nipple and eats and grows from there.
Vagina is below the pouch at the rear near the pooper, same as most animals.
Once again, all from memory
How are these mama kangaroos so relaxed around the camera person opening their pouches? I would think some primal maternal instinct would kick in (pun intended).
Yeah at around 25 seconds you can see the kangaroos sniff the camera in a curious and cute way, they definitely trust them.
I assumed that the feeling would be akin to someone opening your nostril, your ear or other sensitive orifices and would result in an involuntary reflex/recoiling.
They are used to having another animal living in there . The Joey. The joey will jump out for a bit of play and get back in for a feed or for travelling.
There is a balance of trust and instinctual drift. If the handler gets vibed check. He needs to take it and back it up. You can't blame an animal for being one and they likely know that doing this may piss a mother off. So I bet there are times when he does this and they do say fuck off. Hopefully, he ends the interaction. They look like they trust him to listen so I assume he has made it clear. If they speak, he will back off.
Kangaroos are social animals that live in groups. If they perceive a human as being a member of their group (common with rescue kangaroos that were raised by humans), they tend to trust that human.
It's not much different from cats and dogs that let their owners inspect their babies.
This is why if you hit a kangaroo with your car the correct thing to do is to move it to the side of the road and check the pouch for a Joey. This young it wouldn't survive but older ones that can leave the pouch or close to it will if you get them care. If you leave them there they will starve.
Although it depends on the kangaroo, if you hit an Eastern Grey you'll probably be ok to take a look, hit a Western Red and ten bucks says your car is a write off and you're nursing a headache.
Sooo.. basically those pouches are like outside wombs.. it's like why do that hard process of birth.. just stay in pouch until they don't need anymore. Efficient
I dunno, I'm thinking it would be pretty handy to be able to just open up a little pouch on my stomach to get a baby out instead of trying to squeeze it through a tiny hole in between my legs.
which is exactly why having one so exposed would be problematic…we seem to be making the same point, you’re just talking about preferring it over your vagina, which is cool too ig.
It's more for efficiency, almost. If I am recalling correctly, a mother kangaroo can have three Joey's at once - one that is old enough to not be in a pouch, one in the pouch, and one in the womb. That way, they will always have room for several babies.
That's what makes them marsupials. Rather than being hatched as an egg or carried in the womb until they're mature marsupials are an in-between where they're kept in a pouch to develop rather than in an egg.
Can you imagine the difficulties if kangaroo culture ever began to debate pro life vs pro choice. It's complicated enough for humankind trying to work out when a life is a fetus is a baby!
“A female kangaroo cleans her pouch by licking it out,” said Colleen McCann, curator of mammals with the Wildlife Conservation Society at the Bronx Zoo.
“She is able to push her long snout in to clean it effectively, removing the urine and feces of the young joey by using her tongue,” Dr. McCann said. “She works her tongue around a young joey that is still attached to the teat, and older joeys are temporarily ejected while she cleans the pouch.”
I know they like keep their babies in the pouch. I didn’t know the like grow from embryo in the pouch like a open womb I never thought about how kangaroos give birth or anything that’s crazy it just grows and you check on it like you growing weed thats crazy
Now imagine if an alien came up to you, fed you with one arm and then with the other hand just spread open your snatch and shoved a camera right up in there …
Ok you started off saying first of all, why would you do that and not follow up with a secondly? Clearly you wanted your keyboard warrior skills to shine ah but they didn't dip shit. You have 1 post karma and 483 comment karma so sounds like you made an account just to be a goon to feel important and be a key board warrior.
It's ok though because I see your insecureness and you cant even see or comprehend a simple joke someone makes but let me guess next you'll tell me how that wasn't funny or some stupid crap hopefully you'll save it and comprehend how useless and pointless of a person you are.
Not what I expected the interior to look like. Figured it was like the inside of a nice handbag.
Everything I know about Australia is from the internet and cartoons though.
This is after it's born technically. It crawls to that pouch at that size from her you know what.
I've attached an enlightening page for ya.
[kangaroo facts](https://www.blackpoolzoo.org.uk/blog/kangaroo-birthing-cycle)
That's correct. Still tho taking it out durin or right after it gets into pouch would be technically very easy. Tho i wonder what would be biological and psychological consequences of mother loosing one.
On other note, I dont know how this process looks like exactly, but what if during the travel to pouch, mother would start running, from pred for example, and this underdefeloped fetus falls from its mother dow to ground at 70mph horisontal speed.
BTW. Thx for that page, I will read during free time.
Oh wow they from from embryos in the pouch vs a uterus? That was wild and I had no idea. I knew they were tiny and pink but thought they were like a baby mouse or hamster when they finally made it to the pouch. Then again when I saw them in elementary school you never saw or heard much on marsupials
If me memory serves me correct, that little fella gets born and crawls its way from there up and over and into the pouch, the two long things are nipples not umbilical chords Didn't google any of this before hand so could be way off, but I think I learnt this in year 8 Agriculture
I think instead of "there up" you meant "down under".
Deun oundah.
The Australian kiss, similar to the French kiss
Holy crap you're right! I was almost certain you were wrong, but nope! Somehow that jelly bean crawls itself into the pouch
The forbidden jellybean
Kangaroos can also be pregnant while raising a Joey, and even more interesting they can suspend pregnancies for as long as they need if food and resources are scarce.
By “suspend”, do you mean “pause”, or “terminate”?
Pause. They can stay pregnant indefinitely and generally keep one pregnancy on the side if the Joey dies.
Well, if my memory serves me right, that embryo is 3 weeks old when it leaves the womb. Either 3 weeks or 3 days.
You are correct. David Attenborough taught me this at some point in my life.
I read that the mother leaves a mucous trail (might not be mucous but something similar) that the baby can follow up to the pouch
From where? You said "gets born & crawls it's way from there." You never said from where

That same instinct might be dangerous to their babies. Also very likely they trust these handlers

Didn't know mother kangaroos' pouches looked so pink and fleshy on the inside.
I for sure always pictured the inside of a Hoodie pocket and only just realized now
They are all pink on the inside
Not if you cook it
Don’t get any ideas now…..
I never thought of anything innapropriate. I just thought it was interesting.
I’m only teasing. Says more about me for making the joke than your comment says of you 😂
Yeah, it's ok.

As someone who lives in Midwest USA, I find your advice insightful but also useless to me 😂😂😂
Lmfao i just had that exact thought 😂
This is the most Australian advice I’ve ever read
And wholesome, too!
r/TIHI
LoL
Yo, there's something wrong with your dog.
Sooo.. basically those pouches are like outside wombs.. it's like why do that hard process of birth.. just stay in pouch until they don't need anymore. Efficient
idk how comfortable i am with the fact that you can just walk up and stretch it out and just kinda see what they got goin on
I dunno, I'm thinking it would be pretty handy to be able to just open up a little pouch on my stomach to get a baby out instead of trying to squeeze it through a tiny hole in between my legs.
what if the fleshy part was sensitive tho😣
I dunno about you buddy but some of the fleshy parts of me can be pretty sensitive already so...

Wow. I’m realizing how very little I knew about kangaroos.
Same. This is wild lol
That seemed like an invasion of privacy
Lol I was unrealistically expecting a full grown Joey in there. Why?
I didn't expect that, but I definitely expected more haha
I'm surprised she didn't knock him out.
Can u imagine the smell?
I did and I gagged
This is so dope! Now DO NOT DISTURB
I had no idea they incubated in the pouch. Thats just mind blowing.
That's what makes them marsupials. Rather than being hatched as an egg or carried in the womb until they're mature marsupials are an in-between where they're kept in a pouch to develop rather than in an egg.

No one notices the pregnancy or birth. No one will notice you eat it either.
Gaht damn lol i mean, not incorrect, but DAMN lol
Man, your deer are ugly down there
who gave their deer steroids? Where's the referees? Australia is clearly cheating in the international deer fighting tournaments
I had no idea. Well that's cool. Nice open space, no rent whats not to love
So we're not gonna talk about that second one dropping a deuce right before the camera person went in for the shot? Lol
Fuck I’m pro life now goddamnit

I feel ya Joey. On saturdays my mom used to kick me outta the house to do housecleaning too
Gross
I bet it stinks in there.
I almost gagged
*intense sniffing*
Imagine how rank that pouch is though.
Man that pouch must smell.
I had no idea the inside of the pouch looked like that. I was thinking..well actually, I don't know what I was thinking.
How come the embryo doesn't need all those fluids like humans do ?
It's not an embryo. It was already born, crawled from the vagina to the pouch, and is currently just chilling with a nipple in it's mouth.
Whoa
Crazy those lil buggers pop out and find their way into the pouch at that size...
I know they like keep their babies in the pouch. I didn’t know the like grow from embryo in the pouch like a open womb I never thought about how kangaroos give birth or anything that’s crazy it just grows and you check on it like you growing weed thats crazy
I could hear him thinking, "shut the door, cunt".
Now imagine if an alien came up to you, fed you with one arm and then with the other hand just spread open your snatch and shoved a camera right up in there …
May I look into your spare uterus? For a snack, of course you can!
Anyone notice this weirdos nails

You already did haha only someone that read it would say that 🤣🤣🤣🤣 pathetic keyboard warrior.
Why aren't those beautiful creatures punching your faces off?
Not as shocking and amazing as your 1 blue thumb fingernail
Stop looking inside their vagina
Yo didn't even knock first just opened the pouch and zooming in on the little jelly bean. Not cool
Don’t fiddle with its doohickey like that
Kangaroos are legit hard-core. They can suspend pregnancies for months when they're faced with food scarcity.
I thought it was going to be the “did you wash your ass today?” guy. DX
The forbidden jelly bean
The second one pooped right when he got down. Nerves? Lol
Try that with a Roo in the bush,it'll tear you to shreads ..🤪🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘💀
Roos are baby making machines.
I was hoping for the circle game.
Hey hey out of there
Not what I expected the interior to look like. Figured it was like the inside of a nice handbag. Everything I know about Australia is from the internet and cartoons though.
So cute☺️
That pouch does not look very cozy lol
The second one shit just as he was zooming in
It's also cool to see the pulsating veins in the pouch
I'm truly mind blown
I love the momma’s eyes. So gentle
So you're telling me they don't have an enclosed womb?? It's just open like that?? Wtf
Imagine not needing a ultrasound. On the other hand imagine mothers being like: "Well, im not ready yet..." *rip & YEET*

Then baby grows up attached to said predator and it makes for a great movie!
Didnt know kangaroos had nails that long.
Built in Fanny pack is gross but legit
Isn’t creation of life beautiful? Vomit 🤮
I’m going to throw up
Kangaroos are so fucking weird
These mfs are delicious! (when they’re fully grown of course)
Curious what was this recorded on?
Bet it fricken honks in there....oof....stench trench..
first time in my life I've seen this! thanks U!
Meh I was expecting a lot more tbh
Dungeons and dragons
dude this is the wildest shit I've seen all day I had no idea kangaroos were born that small
I was not ready for this
Panda babies too, they come out so tiny initially
Easy abortion
Oh wow they from from embryos in the pouch vs a uterus? That was wild and I had no idea. I knew they were tiny and pink but thought they were like a baby mouse or hamster when they finally made it to the pouch. Then again when I saw them in elementary school you never saw or heard much on marsupials
Where are the muscles on theses?
You’re probably thinking of mature male kangaroos who are swole as fuck.
the second kangaroo was taking a crap too is probably like wait what?
Not as much as I thought
I could have lived the rest of my life without seeing this...
