Have you ever wondered what makes animals in Australia so weird and wonderful? Get ready to explore the incredible world of marsupials!

Did you know a newborn kangaroo joey is completely blind, hairless, and exactly the size of a tiny pink jellybean?! You will be amazed to learn how this tiny baby climbs a giant mountain of fur all by itself to find its mother's pouch. We also dig into why wombats have backward-facing pockets (hint: it keeps the dirt out while they burrow!) and meet the fierce Tasmanian devil. This 8-kilogram creature packs a bone-crushing bite force of 553 Newtons, acting like nature's very own vacuum cleaner!
