The journey of the baby kangaroo.
The young of my species are born 33 days after reproduction, reaching only 2.5 cm long and weighing 0.75 gr. Immediately after birth, the baby kangaroo crawls through the mother's fur and into her pouch, where the baby starts lactating. At every stage of growth, the young receive a different kind of milk.
