Originally posted by rayallen Great selective focus on the joey, Rob.
I'm sure I don't know how they get back into that small pouch when they are as big as that fellow.
You can see his back feet next to his face - they're flexible, and so is the pouch!
Originally posted by sam-joseph Nice shot of the Joey. For our overseas readers, the joeys are about the size of a cashew nut when they make their way into the pouch. That's some growth spurt they put on, to get as big as the one in the photo.
True! On the bright side for female kangaroos, giving birth isn't quite so painful as it is for placental animals.
