The only type of mammal that carries their young in pouches are marsupials, such as the kangaroo, koala, wombat and Tasmanian devil. There are over 300 species pf marsupials, but fewer than the numbers of placental mammals, which do not have a pouch, or marsupium.

While it is true that most marsupials (not all) carry their young in pouches, it should also be noted that the echidna, a monotreme, carries its young in a rudimentary pouch it develops during breeding season.

Marsupials are mammals in which the young develop in the pouch, and marsupial young are called joeys. They are born extremely undeveloped and spend their first many months of life attached to a teat in the pouch, where they grow and develop.

They are called marsupials. These mammals include animals like kangaroos, wallabies, and koalas, whose young spend time in a pouch after birth to develop further.
