Pouched Mammals - Marsupials

Pouched mammals include such animals as the kangaroo, koala, opossum and wallaby. They are notable because they have pouches in which they place their young when they are born. This pouch is near the mammary glands so the mother can nurse the young animals. When they are big enough, they leave the pouch and are on their own.

Most marsupials are found on the continent of Australia.
