Female kangaroos have the ability to pause their pregnancies and joeys will dive into their mother's pouch for safety when threatened. According to an Australian tale, an old wombat god gave kangaroos their signature pouch to carry joeys after being helped by a kind mother kangaroo.

    A story of kangaroo------How the Kangaroo
    Got Her Pouch
    This is a brief Australian Tale:
    An old wombat, who is a god in disguise, is treated
    kindly by a mother kangaroo, and offers her a way of
    keeping her joey close by—a pouch on her belly to
    carry him in. The kangaroo accepts and asks that the
    same gift be given to the other marsupials. The one with
    a generous heart wishes to include others when good
    fortune comes her way.
