The animal known for having a pouch for carrying its young is the kangaroo. Native to Australia, kangaroos belong to the marsupial family and are characterized by their powerful hind legs, long tails, and large feet adapted for jumping. Female kangaroos have a distinct pouch where they carry and nurse their young, called joeys, until they are mature enough to survive outside. When born, joeys are tiny and undeveloped, making the pouch essential for their survival and growth. Kangaroos are social animals, often found in groups called mobs, and are symbols of Australia's unique wildlife.
