Do you know that the kangaroo is able to pause its pregnancy and can have up to 3 babies at the same time in its pocket? At birth, the baby measures 2 to 3 cm and weighs 1 g, it remains between 235 and 250 days in its mother's pocket. It takes its head out of the pocket for the first time around 5 to 6 months. He left the pocket definitively 3 months later. Kangaroo mom is very careful when she jumps to move, up to 3 meters, she tightens and contracts her muscles so that her baby stays in place. The particular shape of its legs and the thickness of its tail prevents it from walking easily. The kangaroo is the largest marsupial in the world found in mainland Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea, its size can exceed that of a man and it feeds on grasses, leaves and shoots of trees.
