Question

What type of mammal gives birth to young that need to develop further in the mother's pouch after birth?

Answer 1

marsupials

Marsupials give birth to a tiny, immature embryo. The embryo then continues to grow and develop in a pouch on the mothers belly. This is less risky for the mother. However, the embryo is fragile, so it may be less likely to survive than the fetus of a placental mammal.
