There is something adorable about a kangaroo joey sticking their head out of the pouch. I remember visiting a zoo where we were able to walk through the kangaroo pen. It was raining.

A joey hopped out of its mother’s pouch and decided to explore the world. Well, mom, being smart, was in their rain shelter.
