Did you know that kangaroo pouches are big and floppy one minute, and tight as a drum the next ?? Mother kangaroos have a lot of control over their pouch – they can relax or contract the muscles around the pouch, and by standing up or leaning over they can control joey’s access to the pouch. If a mother wants to encourage her 9 month old joey to take their first steps outside, she will let her pouch muscles relax and lean over, allowing joey to tumble out. If she then stands up and contracts the pouch muscles, joey cannot get back in, no matter how hard they try. If there’s danger she will quickly lean forward, relax the pouch, and call to the joey, who immediately rushes back in.
Kangaroo Island Kangaroo Joey In A Pouch was photographed at Australian reptile park, Gosford, north of Sydney. I think this joey is somewhere between 6 to 9 months all. Joeys after 9 months start jumping out of the pouch for short periods of time. This cutie was very happy inside.
