What is a baby kangaroo called?

A baby kangaroo is called a joey. After being born, a joey is essentially just a tiny, undeveloped fetus, blind, hairless, and only a few centimeters in length. It makes its way to its mother's pouch where it continues to develop and grow. The joey will stay in its mother's pouch for several months, continuing to develop until it is strong enough to venture out and hop around on its own. During this time, the joey will continue to nurse and receive protection and warmth in the safety of its mother's pouch. Joey kangaroos are incredibly adorable and are a symbol of the unique and fascinating wildlife found in Australia.
