00:00The kangaroo is smaller than your thumb.
00:02It's blind, it's hairless, and its back legs barely work.
00:07But the second it lands on its mother's fur, it has to start climbing.
00:12The mother doesn't help it in the pouch.
00:14The joey has to crawl there completely on its own.
00:17This would be like a human baby climbing an entire building floor.
00:22Now if it makes it, it latches on to a nipple,
00:25which swells inside its mouth, locking the joey in place for months.
00:31And even after it finally lets go, it'll sometimes hop out to explore.
00:36But whenever it needs milk or safety, it climbs right back in.
