The tree kangaroo species only gestate for about six weeks before they are born and immediately crawl into their marsupial moms’ pouches, Bronx Zoo says
A Matschie's tree kangaroo joey that made its first appearance from its mother's pouch at New York's Bronx Zoo, on July 18.The second baby of a tree-dwelling kangaroo made its public debut this week in New York, poking its pink head out of its mom’s furry white pouch.
The tree kangaroo species only gestate for about six weeks before they are born and immediately crawl into their marsupial moms’ pouches, the zoo said in a statement. It takes around seven months for the young to start peeking out of the pouch. “It’s a small population and because of that births are not very common,” said Jessica Moody, curator of primates and small mammals at the Bronx Zoo. “So it’s a rare and exciting event,” adding that baby tree kangaroos are “possibly one of the cutest animals to have ever lived. They look like stuffed animals, it’s amazing.”
