Can the female kangaroo hold more than one baby?

Yes, female kangaroos can hold more than one baby at different developmental stages. They typically have one joey in their pouch, while another may be developing in the uterus. This unique reproductive strategy allows them to continue nurturing a joey while preparing for the next one, ensuring a continuous cycle of reproduction. However, the joeys will not be born simultaneously; the younger one will remain in the pouch until it is ready to emerge.
