Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Those pouches aren’t unique to kangaroos. It’s the hallmark feature of marsupials, a classification of mammals that carry their young in their pouches after birth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mammals that carry their young in an abdominal pouch during their early development are called marsupials. Soon after the marsupial ovum, or egg, is fertilized, the young are born in a premature state and crawl into the mother’s pouch. There, nursing on milk from their mother’s nipples, they complete their development.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of marsupials include but are not limited to kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, the koala, the Tasmanian devil, and opossums.
