Fascinating Facts Include...
* In most species, the pouch is a permanent feature. Some species, however, only have temporary skin folds which appear when they give birth and disappear once the baby is fully developed.
* Kangaroos are excellent swimmers. When chased by a pack of dingoes, they often go into the water. If pursued, they can use their front legs to hold the dingoes underwater and drown them.
* The Tammar wallaby can drink seawater, which allows it to survive when water is scarce.
* Koalas can eat 2.5 pounds (1.1 kilograms) of eucalyptus leaves a day but get little energy from them. That's why they sleep for as long as 20 hours each day!
* Virginia opossums have 50 teeth, the highest number of teeth found in any mammal living in North America.
