Question 8 • Environmental Science A

Summarize how early Joey birth in kangaroos is an advantageous adaptation for life in arid conditions.

Answer

Answer:

Kangaroos give birth after a short pregnancy, and the tiny joey continues developing safely in its mother’s pouch. This reduces the mother’s burden of carrying a fetus and helps conserve resources when food and water are scarce. The mother can also delay development during especially harsh conditions.
