Lucy Cooke on the extraordinary reproductive feat of one marsupial
SWAMP WALLABIES
IMAGINE BEING PREGNANT FOR YOUR entire adult life. That's the reality for the swamp wallaby - a stocky member of the kangaroo family with a unique talent for maximizing her reproductive capacity.
Life in the Australian outback is tough. Temperatures can be lethal and rainfall sporadic, making food sources unpredictable for vegetarians such as wallabies and kangaroos. Evolution has equipped these marsupials with some fiendish adaptations to cope with the stress of daily life.

PEOPLE LOVE A PARTY. BUT AS POPULOUS as our species is, the headcounts at our gatherings don't match those of other species. The Maha Kumbh Mela, a Hindu pilgrimage in Prayagraj, India, drew more than 660 million people in January 2025. But this horde - thought to be the largest in human history – pales in comparison to the groups formed by our animal relatives.
