What is the weaning period of a kangaroo?

The weaning period for a kangaroo typically lasts about 6 to 12 months, depending on the species. During this time, the joey gradually transitions from consuming its mother's milk to eating solid food. Initially, the young kangaroo will continue to nurse while also sampling vegetation, eventually relying more on solid food as it grows. By around 12 months, most joeys are fully weaned and independent.
