The term joey refers to the young of any marsupial.
When born, most marsupials - even the largest species, the red kangaroo - are about the size of a jellybean. They are pink and blind, and completely hairless. They are almost impossible to identify as a species with glance, although koala joeys do have a distinctive large, oval nose.
As they grow, the joeys begin to take on more of the parents' characteristics.
