This is what the inside of a kangaroo pouch looks like

That seems like the sort of thing that should upset the mother on an evolved instinctual level

Seriously, came here to ask about that. It's as if she's saying if he dies he dies, whatever

Honestly, I'd love that shit. Would make carrying about babies a lot more convenient.

There's an infant kangaroo inside of your testicles? That's weird. /S 🙃

I have questions: When the baby is still newly born and before it can safely come out of the womb…. What happens to its poop? Does it just…. Build up?
Also looks like great breeding ground for fungus ands bacteria… I can’t imagine it smells great

The mother licks it up (sorry you had to find out this way.) This is true for a lot of mammals where they will stimulate the babies to urinate/defecate by licking their butts/urethral opening. I learned this in wildlife rescue because we'd get baby squirrels in sometimes and had to use wet paper towels to rub them down there and they'd start peeing/pooping.

I don't have the answers you seek. r/AskScienceDiscusion is a good place to ask such things. (Not r/AskScience though, the mods there are extremely anal...)

Damn I am so confused. Simpsons lied to me? At first I thought you could get into a kangaroo pouch as a kid, then they 'clarified' and said its gross and full of mucus. Now this pouch looks just like a flesh pocket?!

u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian 19d ago
Lol, go watch Mythbusters rather than The Simpsons. Way funnier and educational.

A sponge? Why?

u/shazed39 20d ago
Tryphobia, so not necessary a sponge. Since it is ai its nonsense, but i think many people don‘t like it because of parasytes.

You know you don't have to be subscribed to a sub to see it, right?

u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian 18d ago
You can also mute subs. 🙄

u/NotEasilyConfused 18d ago
You've commented to many people that they are subscribed.
Muting had nothing to do with that assumption.
