Fun Fact
A Full-Time Mum
Females of all kangaroo species have two uteri, but the Swamp Wallaby uses them simultaneously.
Near the end of pregnancy, while still nursing an older joey, the female can mate again and carry one young that is ready to move into the pouch, where it will continue growing for another 7-8 months, in one uterus, while a second embryo is developing in its early stages in the other.
