Baby kangaroo is out and about after months in mom’s pouch
Although the young west grey kangaroo, known as a joey, was born in late January, he is making his debut now.
Another fresh face is making himself known at the BioPark and Zoo. Although the baby west grey kangaroo, known as a joey, was born in late January, he is really making his debut now. That’s because kangaroos’ gestation is only a month long, and they come into the world tiny, hairless and blind. It’s time then to get in their mother’s pouch and nurse, according to the City of Albuquerque’s website. The joey is eight or nine months old now and lives with the other west grey kangaroos at the BioPark, along with three Bennett’s wallabies, two emus, and two red kangaroos. He still spends time in the pouch, but gets out more often to exercise and look around at the surroundings.
