Question

The pouch in which a Kangaroo mother keeps her young baby is called

• A. External placenta
• B. Uterus
• C. Marsupium
• D. Cloaca

Answer 1

The correct option is C Marsupium

Kangaroos are mammals that are part of a special group known as marsupials. Marsupials are mammals that have a special pouch used for carrying their babies. In addition to kangaroos, other marsupials include the wombat, the koala, the opossum, and the wallaby. Kangaroos and other marsupials have a special pouch — called a marsupium — for carrying their babies, because their young are particularly small when they're born. A baby kangaroo — called a joey — is about the size of a lima bean when it's born. The mother's pouch provides a safe place for her babies to stay until they grow large enough to survive outside the pouch on their own. Since pouches are for babies to stay in, only female kangaroos have them.

So the correct option is 'Marsupium'.
