RE: MW44 Boomer!!
Hi Dave,
Actually the common name for a large kangaroo is a "Boomer" and a baby kangaroo is called a "Joey". Usually a Joey is of the age when it is still in its mothers pouch. They live in the pouch and spend increasing longer times out of the pouch as they get older.
"A kangaroo carries its baby in its pouch. The baby is born really tiny and crawls into its mother's pouch.
The baby lives in its mother's pouch till its quite large. Even when its quite large it still drinks milk from a teat in its mother's pouch.
It sometimes jumps into its mother's pouch head first when frightened. "
Very confusing.
Regards
