Bennett-kenguru / Macropus rufogriseus / Red-necked wallaby - granada_turnier

We have visited Veszprém Zoo last weekend. Uniquely among mammals, despite impregnation, the female remains fertile. While the mother is suckling the joey of the embryo from the second breeding goes through a period of arrested development and only continues after the first offspring has been weaned. After a gestation period of 30 days, the nearly 0,7g offspring climbs into its mother's pouch, where it grows for 280 days. Thea tolerate the European climate well; what's more, they live also freely in German zoos.
