kangaroo joey in pouch

Kangaroo joey IMG 7139 - There's not a lot of room in a kangaroo's pouch for a rapidly growing joey, and that means that the baby's long legs and huge feet sometimes just don't fit in. Although the animal in this photo appears to be in a contorted position, it seems unconcerned, and is simply content to peer out at the world from the safety of it's mother's pouch.
