If you grew up in the US, you probably remember seeing cute little kangaroo mamas with adorable joeys popping out of their pouches on cartoons or in books.

A lot of us were under the impression that a kangaroo pouch was a cozy pocket on the tummy of a kangaroo. The little joey could ride around in it, peeking his head out as he pleased. However, this isn’t quite the reality.
TikTok user Alexandra Kalin posted a video of what a kangaroo pouch actually looks like and people were not ready for it. The video was quickly shared to other social media platforms. Twitter, especially, had a hard time grasping the reality of a kangaroo pouch.
