Rocket and Raven watch a video about a wallaby.
A tiny head pops out of a pouch!
Nova asks, "Why is the baby in there?"
A baby wallaby is called a joey.
A newborn joey is tiny and has no fur.
It climbs into its mother’s pouch.
The joey stays in the pouch for about nine months.
There it drinks from its mother and grows.
Oystercatchers are birds that live along sandy beaches.
Both parents feed their chicks for about two months.
Then the chicks are big enough to find food alone.
