Bennett's wallaby
A wallaby joey is born the size of a pea and climbs on its own into the mother’s pouch. There it spends several months feeding and growing, while being lovingly protected by its mother. Their incredible journey from a tiny creature to a skilled jumper makes them one of the most fascinating mammals in the world.
