Mom kangaroos have a special pocket on their tummy called a pouch. That’s where joeys stay safe and warm while they grow.
A baby kangaroo is called a joey. When a joey is born, it’s about the size of a jellybean! It stays in its mama’s pouch to grow big and strong.
Kangaroos are like deer in their native continent called Australia. That’s where they hop around in big open spaces called the outback.
