Six-Month-Old Kangaroo Joey Struggles to Get Into Mother's Pouch

A leggy red kangaroo joey struggled to get back into his mother’s pouch at Texas’s San Antonio Zoo, footage released on Friday, March 25, showed.

The adorable joey, named Poseidon, was born to parents Pearl and Rocky and is around six months old. His exact age could not be determined due to the species’ small size at birth, the zoo told local media.

Video filmed by the San Antonio Zoological Society shows Poseidon struggling to get back into his mother’s pouch before eventually succeeding on the fourth attempt. Red kangaroo joeys leave their mother’s pouch for good at around eight months, according to National Geographic. Credit: San Antonio Zoological Society via Storyful
