Episode 2: Kangaroo
Kings of them all, the Kangaroos, thrive in one of the most unpredictable, drought-prone environments on Earth – the Australian Outback. And it’s all thanks to their bizarre way of reproducing.
We find out why females kangaroos have three vaginas; how male marsupials use sperm plugs to beat the competition; how month-old babies - the size of a paperclip - can climb to a pouch and Joy experiences the extraordinary sight of a new-born kangaroo sucking on it's mother's teat...inside her pouch.
