Two kangaroo joeys are hopping around Brookfield Zoo, finally venturing outside of the pouch. At birth, a joey is the size of a jellybean. These joeys were born 10 and 11 months ago to moms Daisy and Sheila. They've spent the whole time nursing in their mothers' pouches, and they'll put their heads back in the pouches to nurse until they are about 18 months old.
