  • Subtitles section
  • Here in Australia, this baby red kangaroo, called a joey, has been out of the pouch for just two days.
  • And mom is getting ready to give birth again.
  • How does this work?
  • Well, let's find out.
  • A pink kangaroo embryo the size of a lima bean pops out.
  • It's blind and deaf, and yet somehow it's got to find its way to the mother's pouch.
  • Its hind legs, which will someday allow the kangaroo to jump nearly 30 feet, are now just useless buds.
  • It's going to have to drag itself upwards six inches, using its forelimbs to climb through the forest of its mother's thick fur.
  • This quest will take about three minutes.
  • Once Inside the pouch, it searches out mom's nipples and starts feeding.
  • This embryo will remain latched on to one nipple for 34 weeks.
  • Once it leaves the pouch, it'll continue to suckle from its mother for another four months.
  • Now here's the amazing part.
  • This tiny pink critter was actually conceived many months ago.
  • In an earlier stage, it remained in a kind of suspended animation called a diapause, while mother tended to the youngster that's now outside the pouch.
  • The mother kangaroo now produces two separate and distinct kinds of milk.
  • One for the embryo, the other for Joey.
  • Once she reaches sexual maturity, the female breeds for 8 to 12 years.
  • In times of drought, she doesn't breed.
  • But otherwise, she keeps her cycle of diapause, embryos, and joeys going strong.
  • Usually, where there's a fertile female, there are also males fighting over her.
  • The newcomer is on the right, over six feet tall, and the early money is on his becoming the alpha male here.
  • Why?
  • Because only the subdominant male kicks in these competitions, and the roo on the left is doing all the kicking.
  • The Dominant male, having won the right to woo mom, claims his mate.
  • The scent of the female attracts another male suitor.
  • But the dominant male scoffs at this upstart.
  • Hear that?
  • That's the sound of a dominant male kangaroo scoffing.
  • The result of this mating will produce an embryo that will grow a few days and then become dormant, until the embryo we observed is out of the pouch.
  • Like an air traffic controller, mom has to keep these babies stacked up, in line, ready to take off.
  • And she does.
