So I guess the marsupial pouch is really like an external womb, because that would be a fetus of any other mammal. Nature is crazy.
Yes, that’s it! They climb in there, swallow the nipple and continue to “bake in the oven.”
So is it just like full of shit when they are coming out?
Yeah, that’s an excellent question. It doesn’t sound like the cleanest operation.
