The Strange Life Cycle of a Kangaroo (Scientific American Investigates Life Cycles)

Description

Kangaroo mothers give birth to live babies after just 33 days of gestation Then, babies--whose hind legs haven't fully developed yet--climb into their mother's pouch to drink special milk and continue to develop. This fascinating life cycle is detailed for readers in this volume, all told through age-appropriate language and content. Full-color photographs and fun fact boxes supplement the main content and a graphic organizer clearly shows the kangaroo life cycle from beginning to end to aid readers' understanding.
