What is a baby kangaroo called?

A baby kangaroo is called a Joey. They are born after a very short Gestation%20Period, usually around 30-40 days. At birth, a joey is incredibly small, often only about an inch long and weighing less than a gram. It is blind, furless, and entirely dependent on its mother.

The joey instinctively climbs into its mother's Pouch, where it attaches to a teat and remains for several months, growing and developing. It will stay in the pouch for around 6-10 months. After it starts venturing out of the pouch, it will continue to return for milk and protection until it is about a year old. The mother provides all the Nutrition the joey needs through her milk, which changes composition as the joey grows.
