" There is nothing "stupid" in this use of the natural organs. THE MARSUPIALIA. 193 The management of the young by the kangaroo mother proves the possession not only of affection but of intelli- gence. The young one, when born, is only about an inch long, and is in all respects an undeveloped animal. The mother seems to be perfectly aware of this, carefully places the infant in the pouch, and guides it to her breast, to which the little thing immediately clings. Thus enclosed in this singular l...iving bag, the infant kangaroo is carefully tended by the mother for about nine months. By that time the young one has grown into a fine, active baby, weighing about twelve pounds, and able to get in and out of the pouch without the parent's help. When experimenting naturalists have gently separated the young from the nipple, the mother has found the means of replacing the little creature's mouth on the source of nourishment. The young one is for some time too feeble to crawl up from the bottom of the pouch to the nipple, and must be placed there by the soft fleshy lips of the mother.
