Kangaroo bag used to do?

In contrast to the completely maternal animal, some marsupials tend to give birth to very young children, then they are forced to raise their children for a while in the bag located in front of the abdomen. But aside from the role of being a 'warm nest' for young animals, is there any other use for a mother's bag?

Professor Elizabeth Deane of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, conducted a study focusing on koalas (photos) and Tammar kangaroo species around this topic in hopes of answering the question of how The newly born baby can fight off disease while the immune system is incomplete and can crawl from the mother's reproductive tract, eventually slipping into the pocket.

Professor Elizabeth Deane said: ' In a time when it is not a breeding season, bags of marsupials are usually dry and brown. But in the breeding season, the bags completely changed with unexpected cleanliness and there was a translucent color antibiotic compound. We know that when a baby is born, almost nothing supports them to create an immune response.

Therefore, their ability to cope with diseases is also very low. However, their mother's bag is now a protective element for young animals, when the mother's animal secretes an antibiotic compound inside its bag. The natural survival rule helps young animals crawl into their mother's bags to be protected by that special antibiotic compound! '.
