What do you call a lazy baby tree kangaroo?
A POUCH Potato!
Tree kangaroo joey's typically leave the pouch permanently at around 10 months old. Even then, they will continue to nurse. At nearly 10 months old, Paia still loves to nap in mom Keweng's pouch.

The bat-eared fox is the world’s only true insectivore canid. In the wild, termites and dung beetles make up 80-90 percent of this species’ diet.
