The
musky
rat-kangaroo
is
less
than
a
pound
(.5
kg).
Kangaroos are
marsupials,
which means
they are
mammals
that have an
external pouch
or pocket.
Marsupials
are different
from most
mammals
because they
give birth to
very under-
developed
young. Joeys
are born
hairless and
tiny, about the
size of a bean
and must
climb their
way up into
their mother's
pouch. They
remain there to
feed and sleep
and grow—in
six months
they grow to
be 2,000 times
the size they
were at birth.
