Lovely shot -- the best place to be for nourishment and protection ! Is the 6 months apply only to Koala Joeys , or is this the period of time for all marsupials !!
@beryl oh good question - it is quite variable depending on the species. the tiny ones might only be in pouch a few months, while the big kangaroos can be up to 9 months
@koalagardens@beryl During one of the recent drought periods we saw mother kangaroos feeding babies long past the normal weaning time. Some joeys were even too big for the pouch but when the rain came they were instantly weaned and replaced very quickly with new baby joeys.
