Lucy Cooke on the extraordinary reproductive feat of one marsupial

FEMALE OF THE SPECIES

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.
