NO>>>the prime purpose of the pouch is for mummy kangaroo to carry the baby joey around and the fetus actually grows in there....the Male kangaroo does not have this need so they dont have a pouch

NBo, only female wallabies and Kangaroos have pouches , including other female marsupials. Also it is very important that if you find a marsupial that has died to check if a joey ( a baby) is in the pouch. If you do find a joey it is extremely important that you do not pulll it away from the mother's teat( even if the mother is alive) the Joey has a suction around it's mother's teat and pulling it away by force actually ruptures the joey's throat. So it is important that you call an animal wildlife expert right away if you ca not transport the dead mother and joey in a vehicle. Hope this helps you, God Bless!

I'm sorry but everyone so far is wrong.
The males grow pouches at the age of 18 months. There are two - one either side, which they store their boxing gloves in.

LOL. good question. No, I don't think they do, because those pouches are for carrying around the babies after the babies are born, and the men don't carry the babies.
It's kinda like asking does a man have a uterus? No, men don't have a uterus, lol..

No they don't as they have no need for it - the females carry the offspring.
