'Mother Guides Baby

Did You ever Wonder how a new-
born;: baby kangaroo;,gets ,into the
pouch o•t his mother's abdomen,
where he continues to'grow . until

An. account of the' actual .birth'of
a gray kangaroo :in -a 'Bristol, Eng-
land, zoo is given by Dr. L. Har
• rison Matthews of 'the • University
of Bristol in the ,Proceedings of
the Zoological 'Society of London.
As- soon as thebaby is 'born,, Dr,
Matthews says, the mother begins
licking her abdominal fur in a' two-
' 'inch path. With its eyes; closed
and its' mouth open the incnlopg;
infant 'kangaroo. Starts crawling
through the damp fur. When it
reaches' the. end of.- a • •wet. -patch of
